ABSTRACT:
Objectives: The purpose of this
study was to compare the anaerobic power of amateur futsal and handball players
utilizing the Wingate Test. Material and Methods: Twenty-two athletes between the ages of 18 to
21, who agreed to participate in the research after reading and signing the
Terms of Free and Clarified Consent, took part in the Wingate Test using 7.5%
of their total body mass. The relative and absolute Maximum Power (MP);
relative and absolute Average Power (Ap) and Fatigue Rate (FR) were compared.
The statistical method used was the non-paired t-student test with a
significance level of P Results: Handball players presented higher values of absolute MP (879.45 ± 182.22 W)
and Ap (671.91 ± 109.37) when compared to the values of MP (749.00 ± 71.94) and
Ap (600.42 ± 52.72) of futsal players. However, there was no significant
difference when the variables studied were relative to the MP and Ap and
Fatigue Rate. Conclusions: Based on these
results, it can be concluded that handball presents greater alactic anaerobic
power compared to futsal where, most likely, the importance of certain
characteristics and specific training contributes to the
determination of the predominant metabolic medium during sport practice.
