Abstract
Resumo O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar e testar a correlação entre força isométrica de preensão manual (FIPM), nível de atividade física (AF) e qualidade de vida (QV) de competidores máster de judô. A amostra foi composta por 44 homens (45 a 64 anos), participantes do Campeonato Panamericano Master de Judô de 2011. Para avaliar a força manual, utilizou-se teste de força isométrica de preensão manual. Empregaram-se os questionários WHOQOL-Breve e Questionário de Atividade Física Global (GPAQ). Na análise estatística, após a verificação da normalidade na distribuição dos dados, os mesmos são apresentados com média [Intervalo de confiança 95%]. Na comparação entre grupos etários, foi conduzida análise de variância (ANOVA), com pos-hoc de Tukey. Para correlações bivariadas, empregou-se o teste de Pearson. Os competidores de judô demonstraram: 1) quantidade elevada de AF (661 [513-810] min de AF moderada a vigorosa) quando se consideram as recomendações populacionais; 2) FIPM com valores moderados (soma bilateral de 87,1 [82,3-91,9] kgf) comparados com pessoas fisicamente ativas e idosos; e 3) escores de QV superiores aos registrados em outros estudos. Adicionalmente, destacam-se dois principais achados, ausência de diferenças significantes para percepção subjetiva de QV e de FIPM segundo grupos etários e correlação positiva entre quantidade semanal de AF moderada a vigorosa e escores de QV.
Highlights
The Judo is one of the most popular sports modalities in the world, activating all body segments, induce the increase of muscle strength, increase flexibility and balance and generates improvements of neurologic and psychologic aspects[1,2,3]
Few attention has been aimed to others age groups, it would be interesting investigate the impact of long time martial arts training in the physical tness and health of subjects[5,6]
Muscle strength is a physical capacity fundamental to obtain success in the modality[3], ghters did not show high values when compared with no ghters in the peak of handgrip isometric strength (PHIS), but the ghters showed lower fatigue rate when there is sustenance of contraction for 10 seconds[7]

For instance, it was observed that lower levels of PHIS become the elderly susceptible to falls[11]
