Orientador: Julio Wilson Dos-Santos / Banca: Camila Buonani da Silva / Banca: João Paulo Borin / Resumo: O futebol é um esporte com ações de alta intensidade, implicando em aumento de dano tecidual, que pode ser mensurado pela análise de marcadores bioquímicos, como a creatina quinase (CK), lactato desidrogenase (LDH) e mioglobina (Mb). Os testes físicos mais utilizados para determinar a aptidão física dos jogadores são: teste aeróbio intermitente de Yo-yo, velocidade de 10 e 30 metros, corridas repetidas anaeróbias (RSA, 6 x 20-20 m) e impulsão vertical squat e contra movimento (IVSQUAT e IVCMV). Entretanto, a relação entre o nível de aptidão física do jogador, seu desgaste durante a partida com a intensidade na qual ele joga e com as ações técnicas é pouco estudada. Diante disso, o presente estudo tem como objetivo: verificar se os jogadores que apresentam melhor desempenho nos testes físicos também têm maior participação com a bola e jogam em maior intensidade; verificar quais indicadores de dano muscular no jogo se relacionam com a aptidão física, as ações técnicas e a intensidade do jogo de futebol; bem como, verificar a relação entre CK, LDH e Mb com a intensidade do jogo. O presente estudo contou com 11 jogadores de futebol de uma equipe participante do Campeonato Paulista da primeira divisão. Os jogadores passaram por avaliação antropométrica e avaliação das capacidades físicas (Yo-yo, RSA, 10 e 30 metros e IV). A FC do jogo foi monitorada durante duas partidas oficiais para determinar a carga do jogo, pelo impulso de treinamento (TRIMP). Duas horas antes do início e apó...

The physical tests most used to determine the physical fitness of the players are: Yo-yo intermittent aerobic test, 10 and 30 meters speed, repeated anaerobic races (RSA, 6 x 20-20 m) and vertical squat and counter-movement (IVSQUATand IVCMV). However, therelationship between the level of physical fitness of the player, his wear during the match with the intensity in which he plays and the technical actionsis little studied. Therefore, the present study has as objective: to verify if the players that present better performance in the physical tests also have higherparticipation with the ball and play in higherintensity; to verifywhich indicators of muscle damage in matches relate to physical fitness, technical actions and intensity of the soccermatch; as well as,toverifythe relationship amongCK, LDH and Mb with the intensity of the match. The present study had 11 soccer players from a team participating in the First Division Paulista Championship. The players underwent anthropometric evaluation and assessment of physical abilities (Yo-yo, RSA, 10 and 30 meters and IV). The HFof the game was monitored during two official matches to determine the loading of the game by the training impulse (TRIMP). Two hours before and after the game blood samples (5 mL) w...

The objective of the study was to determine the effects of pre-slaughter conditions and anima-l related factors on bruising, creatine kinase (CK) and beef quality. Three hundred and twenty one cattle from three breeds (108 Bonsmara, 130 Beefmaster and 83 Brahman) were used in this study. The animals were grouped according to age categories as follows; Group 1(16months), Group 2 (18months) and Group 3 (24 months). Blood samples for CK determination were collected at exsanguisation using disposable vacutainer tubes. The Muscularis longisimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle was used to determine beef colour (L,* a* and b*) and ultimate pH. Significant P (<0.05) breed effects were observed on bruising score and CK levels with Bonsmara breed having the highest percentage (80 percent) of bruising score and higher CK (705.3±80.57) values. The higher CK levels were also in winter season. The effect of breed, sex and age at slaughter on meat quality (pHu, L*, a*, b*) was also observed. There were positive correlations between distance travelled and meat quality, while there was no relationship observed between CK and distance travelled. Therefore, it was concluded that animal related factors had an effect on meat quality and CK levels.
