The ISSN 1097 - 9751 purpose of this study was to compare the cardiorespiratory fitness of visually impaired (VI) footballers with non - blind footballers and to examine the validity of the 20 - m shuttle run test in estimating cardiorespiratory fitness in VI footballers. A cross - sectional study was conducted with 8 VI football 5 - a - side players and 7 age - match ed non - blind futsal players. The groups performed the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPE T ) and the 20 - m shuttle run to obtain the maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2 max). The VI footballers presented a lower VO 2 max than the non - blind footballers on both the CPE T ( P = 0.04) and the 20 - m shuttle run ( P < 0.05). The 20 - m shuttle run test underestimated VO 2 max in the VI footballers ( P = 0.02). The agreement between the estimated and measured VO 2 max values were better among non - blind footballers (ICC 2,1 = 0.72) than the VI footballers (ICC 2,1 = 171 0.58), confirmed by Altman and Bland's graphical approach. The VI footballers presented a lower cardiorespiratory fitness than the non - blind footballers , which was observed through direct and indirect methods. The 20 - m shuttle run test underestimate d the VO 2 max and is not a valid method to assess cardiorespiratory fitness in VI footballers . Key W ords : F ootball, O xygen C onsumption , Visual Impairment INTRODUCTION The number of individuals with disability engaging in sports has e xponentially increas ed in recent years. In the Paralympic Summer Games, disabled individuals may compete in 22 sports modalities according to six main impairments types: visual impairment , cerebral palsy , intellectual impairment, limb deficiency or amputat ion, spinal cord - related disability, and les autre s (i.e., it includes those ones who do not fit into these five aforementioned categories) (29). For instance, football 5 - a - side is an adapted sport for people with visual impairments in which each team com prises four players who must have total vision loss ( i .e., a B1 level of visual impairment ) and one goalkeeper who can be either visually impaired or fully sighted. The rules of football 5 - a - side are similar to those of conventional futsal with some modifi cations such as the ball that makes noise when it moves and a guide is placed behind the opponent’s goal to orient the players at the time of the kick (20). This modality involves intermittent efforts that require both aerobic and anaerobic metabolic deman ds (8). Therefore, footballers should have well - developed aerobic and anaerobic fitness to achieve optimal performance in this modality (1). The maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) during physical effort is the most commonly used measurement to describe an in dividual’s aerobic fitness (5) , and it can be obtained through direct and indirect methods (2,14). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a noninvasive and direct method that evaluates the integrative response of the cardiovascular and respiratory syst ems during an effort through gas exchange analysis. Although CPET provides a valid and reliable measurement of VO 2 max , it requires specialized professionals and sophisticated equipment that is also a time consuming process (4). Indirect methods of VO 2 max estimation have been developed, which are simple to perform, have low financial cost, and can be applied to large and varied populations in different places. For instance, the Léger Shuttle Run Test , also called the 20 - m shuttle run (22,23) is a maximal m ultistage exercise test largely used to estimate the VO 2 max of different populations, including athletes (9,26). The measurement and estimation of variables, however, are susceptible to some degree of error (24). Therefore, it is very important to determi ne to which extent indirect methods truly provide reliable measures of the phenomenon that is being investigated. Otherwise, daily clinical and practical decisions may be made with potential biases, which in the case of sports may directly influence the pe rformance of athletes. Despite its popularity among adapted sports, football 5 - a - side has rarely been the object of scientific investigations. To date, little is known about the aerobic fitness parameters of blind footballers (7), and yet this information could be useful for maximizing training program periodization and perfo rmance. Moreover, to the author s ’ knowledge, no previous study has investigated the validity of an indirect test to estimate the VO 2 max of blind footballers. Thus, the aims of this st udy were to investigate the cardiorespiratory fitness of blind footballers 172 comparing them with non - blind footballers, and to examine the validity of the 20 - m shuttle run test in estimating the cardiorespiratory fitness of blind footballers. METHODS Stud y and S ample A cross - sectional, pilot study was conducted with 8 football 5 - a - side line players, who were all classified in the B1 visual class and who competed on a second division team in the Brazilian National Championship of Football 5 - a - side. A group of 7 age - matched futsal players (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, second division) with no visual impairments was also included in the study as the control group. During the study, both groups of footballers were in the specific preparatory phase of their training periodization. The inclusion criteria were: (a) male aged >18 y rs ; (b) practice of competitive football 5 - a - side or futsal for at least 1 yr ; and (c) regularly trained at least 3 times ·w k - 1 . Goalkeepers, beta - blocker users, smokers, and subjects with any muscle or joint injuries that could limit the test performance were excluded from the study. The study was submitted to and approved by the local ethical committee (CAAE: 17691113.1.0000.5235) , and all subjects gave their written consent before study entry . Direct M easurement of C ardiorespiratory F itness All subjects were submitted to symptom - limited CPET performed on a treadmill, using the ramp protocol proposed by Silva and Torres (27) in a study conducted on Brazilian Paralympic athletes. The protocol c onsisted of 5 min of warm - up at a velocity of 5.0 km·h - 1 and successive increases of 1.0 km·h - 1 during each minute of testing. Respiratory gas exchange was sampled from a facemask connected to a flow meter and a metabolic gas analyzer (FitMate PRO, Cosme d, Italy). The ventilation flow and expired oxygen fraction were measured and recorded breath - by - breath during exercise. A 12 - lead electrocardiogram (WinCardio, Micromed, Brazil) was continuously monitored during exercise and recovery. During every 3 min of the test, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP, respectively) values were measured ( using a mercury sphygmomanometer, Narcosul, 1400 - C), and the subjects were questioned about their perception of fatigue using the Borg Scale of Perceiv ed Exertion. The subjects were encouraged to perform using their maximal effort. The CPET was considered maximal when one or more of the following parameters were obtained: a VO 2 plateau, maximum heart rate (HR max ) > 180 beats · min - 1 (bpm), or a rating on the Bor g Scale of Perceived Exertion > 18 (19). The t est interruption criteria were based on the American College of Sports and Medicine recommendations (3). The following variables were considered for statistical analysis: oxygen uptake ( VO 2 max ; mL · kg - 1 · min - 1 ), minute ventilation (VE; L · min - 1 ), heart rate (HR; b eats·min - 1 ), S BP and D BP (mmHg), velocity (km · h - 1 ), and total test duration (min: sec ). 173 Indirect E stimation of C ardiorespiratory F itness Blind and non - blind footballers performed the 20 - m shut tle run test (22) with a mean interval of 1 w k after CPET. Both CPET and the 20 - m shuttle run test were performed at the same time of day. All subjects continuously ran back and forth betwee n two points that were 20 m apart. The runs were synchronized wit h a “ beep ” sound from a prerecorded compact disc. As the test proceeded, the interval between each “ beep ” decreased, requiring the athletes to increase their speed over the course.

  • Futsal for the Blind: a New Opportunity for Hungarian People with Visual Impairments to Get Engaged in Physical Activity
    Applied Studies in Agribusiness and Commerce – APSTRACT Agroinform Publishing House, Budapest SCIENTIFIC PAPERS FUTSAL FOR THE BLIND: A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR HUNGARIAN PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS TO GET ENGAGED IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Judit Gombás Semmelweis University, Budapest Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The proportion of Hungarian citizens involved in regular physical activity is extremely low and rates are even lower amongst people with disabilities. It is, however, undoubtedly easier to stimulate physical activity if a wide variety of different sports is accessible for them. Blind futsal was introduced by an NGO, Sports and Leisure Association for the Visually Impaired and it has been played in Hungary for only a year. The present work, by introducing this special sport through document analysis and semi-structured interviews, aims at calling sport professionals’ attention to the unexploited opportunities of adapting sports to blind people’s special needs. The author also wishes to highlight the power of a civil initiative and the inmense effort people with visual impairments themselves make for improving their own sporting opportunities. Key words: disability, social inclusion, adapted sport, football Introduction sporting opportunities are, the more possible it is that an individual finds the particular sport which most suits his or People who do sports on a regular basis not only her character, physical abilities, skills, lifestyle etc. experience an increased level of physical fitness, they also In Hungary sparetime sports are poorly accessible for become more self-sufficient and are able to perform more people with visual impairments, and disability sports in focused efforts than before (Szekeres, Dorogi, 2002).

  • FUTSAL BASIC PRINCIPLES MANUAL FUTSAL Training Manual
    FUTSAL BASIC PRINCIPLES MANUAL FUTSAL Training Manual History of Futsal The development of Salón Futbol or Futebol de Salão now called in many countries futsal can be traced back to 1930 in Montevideo, Uruguay, the same year the inaugural World Cup was held in the country. This early form of futbol Sala (futsal) was developed by Juan Carlos Ceriani to be played at YMCAs. Ceriani's game was designed for five players per team, and could be played indoors or outdoors. At around the same time, a similar form of football played on basketball courts was being developed in São Paulo, Brazil. These new forms of football were quickly adopted throughout South America. The Brazilian Confederation of Sport instituted its first official rules for futebol de salão in 1958. The international governing body FIFUSA (Federación Internacional de Fútbol de Salón, International Futsal Federation) was created in 1971 to administer the game, and held its first futsal world championship in São Paulo in 1982. Due to an apparent dispute with FIFA over the administration of fútbol, FIFUSA coined the word fut-sal in 1985, while the United States Futsal Federation coined the name "Futsal" the same year. FIFA soon began to administer its own indoor soccer games, creating its own version of the rules and hosting its first FIFA Indoor Soccer World Championship in 1989 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, in 1992 it was the FIFA Five-a-Side World Championship (Hong Kong) and since 1996 it has been called the FIFA Futsal World Championship (Guatemala). One of the most remarkable changes was the reduction of the ball weight and increase in ball size (from a handball size to a football size 4), which enabled faster play and, for the first time, scoring goals with the head (though this is still difficult and uncommon).
