Relação entre os componentes da coordenação motora e da aptidão física no desempenho motor de adolescentes praticantes de duathlon aquático

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze if the components of motor coordination (CM) and / or physical fitness are variables that were associated with the motor performance of adolescents who practicing aquatic duathlon. In order to evaluate CM components and general motor performance, MABC-2 was used and the evaluation of the components of physical fitness related to health (AFRS) and physical fitness related to motor performance (AFRDM) were used the tests of PROESP-BR. The sample consisted of 24 adolescents of both sexes, with a mean age of 12.8 years. For the analysis of the results, the T Student's test was used to compare the performance of the participants between the sexes and Multiple Linear Regression to identify the relation of the physical and motor components with the motor performance in the evaluation by the MABC-2. Most of the sample was classified with the typical performance in the CM evaluation, and in the healthy zones in the AFRS components (BMI, waist-stature ratio and Flexibility). In the AFRDM tests, the majority of participants were classified as performing from weak to reasonable. TheMultiple Linear Regression results demonstrate that in the motor components the variables of manual dexterity, throw and receive and balance, and in the physical fitness components the variables s of localized muscular resistance and agility had a significant association with the motor performance of the participants. Thus, data from the present study suggest that performance in tests which require continuous task and gross motor coordination may be predictors of overall motor performance in MABC-2.
