FORÇA EXPLOSIVA DOS MEMBROS INFERIORES NO EXERCÍCIO DE PULAR CORDA APLICADO ÀS CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: The physical health of children and adolescents is directly related to school physical training quality. The improvement of adult sports effectiveness results from a concise protocol with standardized exercises. Rope skipping exercise lacks kinematic studies applied to children and adolescents. Objective: Provide a theoretical reference for jump rope exercise training for children and adolescents. Methods: Eight children aged six to eight years old were recruited to jump at a frequency of 80 and 120 jumps per minute controlled by a metronome. The technique was divided into three stages: impulse, suspension, and landing. Control in the knee joint exoskeleton balance was investigated by computerized baropodometry with differentiation of rotational angular velocity by rotational angular acceleration via Butterworth filter. After noise cleaning and multiplication, an adjustable amplification factor returned to the inlet with inertial compensation torque. Results: Initially, the impulsing force is about three times the individual’s gravity. This value and the center of mass acceleration decrease in time. The initial force is proportional to the velocity of its decrease during the impulse, and the opposite occurs with the landing force. Higher intensity is observed when raising the frequency. Conclusion: The fluctuation in the force curve in the landing phase after 20 jumps indicates low muscle strength in lower limbs to maintain activity. A speed of 80 jumps per minute controlled by music in a playful environment is recommended for children. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.
