Abstract
Introduction: Soccer and futsal present proper characteristics, with a complex variety of factors that can infl uence the performance. The objective of this study was to analyze and compare the acceleration capacity between soccer and futsal players. Materials and Methods: 37 volunteers (n=37), being 12 athletes from Minas Gerais state futsal team, and 25 soccer athletes of the youth category. For the analysis of the acceleration capacity, an photocell equipment with photoelectric sensor was used. The photocells were placed in the beginning of the sprint and 10m from it. The established level of signifi cance in this study was of p<0.05. Results: the results in the speed test of 10m indicated differences between the two groups, with better results for the futsal athletes. Discussion: the futsal players were faster than the soccer players. The result corroborates previous literature, when verifi ed that starts in high intensity happen more frequently in the futsal modality, in relation to the soccer modality.
