Toma de decisiones, inteligencia contextual, consumo máximo de oxígeno y fuerza explosiva en deportistas de futsal durante el covid-19

Abstract

The present investigation sought to determine the relationship between maximum oxygen consumption, explosive force, decision-making, and contextual intelligence in futsal athletes during isolation by Covid-19. Materials and method: Descriptive study, carried out with 30 indoor soccer athletes from the city of Popayan during confinement by Covid-19, where the training characteristics, body mass index, aerobic capacity, lower limbs explosive strength, contextual intelligence and decision making were evaluated. Results: the average VO2max of the athletes was 43.60 ml / kg / min, the average jump height was 38,22 cm; the average reaction time for the Stroop test was 1.41 s. In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found between VO2max, intuition to detect my opponent's actions (p = 0.016), quick reaction to changes in competition (p = 0.012) and taking the initiative (p = 0.017). Conclusions: Covid-19 brought different changes in habitual training activities, producing a decrease in aerobic capacity and explosive strength, as well as cognitive functions such as decision-making and contextual intelligence.
