Mobilidade articular e performance em arremessadores do peso

Abstract

This research attempted to compare athletes' and non athletes' mobility levels and their performances at Shot Put through experimentation. Matthiesen (2017), Lanka (2000), Silva (2015), Gomes (2009), Bompa (2002) and Zaras (2013), amongst others, made our literature. It's been used five different tests: the Thomas' Test, the Deep Squat Test, the Lunge Test, the Shoulder Mobility Test and the Shot Put all together. It was verified that among athletes there were no measurable relation between their mobility and their performance, whereas among non athletes the bigger the distances at Shot Put the better their mobility. So, it's reasonable to conclude the data points out the influence of mobility at Shot Put. In addition to the findings made to the study brings to a discussion about a subject little studied in the history of the academic work of the Federal University of Ceará. We also believe that this work favors and promotes future interests in the test of weight throwing and not athletics as a whole.
