Perfil de la Fuerza y Potencia Muscular en Futbolistas Profesionales Femeninas de la Liga Colombiana

Abstract

Introduction: female soccer has differences in comparison with male soccer mainly at physiological, structural and functional levels. The female gender presents differences at anthropometric level in the relationship between muscle mass and fat, height and weight. Anatomical and biomechanical differences are evidenced between the hip, knee and ankle relationship and physiological changes at metabolic and hormonal level that produce changes in the responses of the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems to physical stimuli, which conditions the evolution of skills and conditional physical abilities. Methodology: a descriptive study was carried out where the evaluation of strength was performed, power, eccentric and concentric peak strength of 21 female players at a general level and by position of the Colombian professional soccer with the kMeter device in combination with the inertial machine kBox Exxentric 4. Results: were obtained general results of strength values of 506N±169.1N (range= 250N-808N); power of 231.6 W±64.8W (range 108W-370W); peak concentric force of 549.4W ±171. 8W (Range299W-958W) and finally the peak eccentric strength of 554.5W ±193.3W (Range 239W-1007W). Conclusions: women's soccer should develop work models focused on increasing physical qualities and creating players with high skill profiles for sports performance, this should be done from training stages focused on national teams. It was possible to determine profiles of strength, power, concentric and eccentric peak power in female professional soccer players, which shows the importance of monitoring sports performance and its optimization based on work cycles.
