EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF TRAINING IN CHILDREN PRACTICING FIELD SOCCER FROM MANGUEIRA OLYMPIC CENTER

The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences, found after 12 weeks of training, in the development of the physical qualities of two groups of children practicing soccer at Mangueira Olympic Center, Both groups were in the third stage of biological maturation, and were submitted to two different methodologies, during the stage of basic formation: the traditional and the maturational. The sample was composed by 30 male infants. For the evaluation of the biological maturation the board of pictures" by Tanner was used (1962), for the self evaluation protocol proposed by Matsudo & Matsudo (1991). For the evaluation of the physical qualities the following protocols were used: coordination (test of coordination of Burpee), flexibility (angular goniometric test), dynamic power (test of manual dynamometric pressure), explosive power (test of vertical impulse) and speed (speed test of 30 meters sprint). The statistic procedure used was the Student's t-test and Student's t-test (independent protocol for inter-groups analysis). The study established p less than or equal to 0.05 to statistic significance. When we compared G1 with G2 observed the results do Delta % and p-valor, respectively: coordination ( Delta %= 2,91%; p=0,00), dynamic power ( Delta %= 3,01; p=0,49) and explosive power ( Delta %=1,03; p=0,63), flexibility ( Delta %=4,39%; p=0,00), aerobic resistance ( Delta %=0,91%; p=0,00) and speed ( Delta %=-0,96; p=0,00). The results allowed concluding that the experimental group, which used the maturational methodology, showed significant statistic differences in the variables coordination, flexibility, aerobic resistance and speed compared to the traditional group.Original Abstract: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de 12 semanas de treinamento nas qualidades fisicas de dois grupos de criancas praticantes de futebol de campo da Vila Olimpica da Mangueira, ambos no estagio 3 de maturacao biologica. As criancas foram submetidas a duas metodologias distintas durante a etapa de formacao basica: a tradicional (grupo 1 - G1) e a maturacional (grupo 2 - G2). A amostra foi composta por 30 criancas do genero masculino. Para a avaliacao da Maturacao Biologica foi utilizado o metodo de Tanner (1962). Para avaliacao das qualidades fisicas foram utilizados os seguintes protocolos: Coordenacao (Teste de Coordenacao de Burpee), Flexibilidade (Testes Angulares de Goniometria), Forca dinamica (Teste de Preensao Manual de Dinamometria), Forca explosiva (Teste
