Capacidades de sprints repetidos: estudo de diferentes protocolos e parâmetros de avaliação

Abstract

The ability to repeat sprints (CSR) is also the result of much research and the source of many questions. The importance of CSR for the intermittent nature of sports (eg football, handball, rugby, tennis and futsal) is indisputable. To evaluate the CSR were developed several protocols, however, these protocols differ on the distance traveled, number of "sprints" in their structure (linear race or changing direction), type of recovery between sprints (active or passive) and length of recovery time between sprints. Despite the diversity of tests designed to evaluate the ability of repeated sprints protocols, few portray the reality of a match in its structure. The protocols are able to provide important performance parameters of their reviews, however, is controversial and the reliability depends on good interpretation of the results presented. The aim of this study is to develop a literature review on the different protocols for assessing the performance of repeated sprints and their respective assessment parameters. This study contributes to better understanding and choice of tests to evaluate the CSR
