Cyrino, E.S., Altimari, L.R., Okano, A.H., Coelho, C.F.. Effects of futsal training on the body composition and mo- tor performance of young athletes. Rev. Bras. Cien. e Mov. 10 (1): 41-46, 2002. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of futsal training on the body composition and motor performance of young athletes. The team composed of 8 futsal athletes from the juvenile category (16.87 ± 0.83 years) and the control group take up 11 boys who did no sport (15.57 ± 1.31 years). The athletes were submitted to specific futsal training for 24 weeks whereas the control group did not undertake any program of systematised physical activity during this period. The motor performance tests included the standing long jump (IH), vertical jump (IVC), one-minute bent-knee sit- ups (FAB), sit-and-reach (SA), and shuttle run (SR). The relative body fat was estimated by the equations of Slaughter et al. (1988). Analysis of the body composition changes within each group demonstrated a significant increase in lean body mass in the training group (p 0.05). A significant training effect was observed only in the indicators of muscular strength/power (standing long jump) and agility (shuttle run).
