Title in Portuguese
Efeito de fadiga sobre latência e acurácia de respostas motoras a estímulos visuais
Keywords in Portuguese
controle motor
fadiga
tomada de decisão
Abstract in Portuguese
O Sistema Nervoso é capaz de organizar, controlar e adequar respostas motoras diante de mudanças repentinas no ambiente. No esporte tal capacidade é solicitada frequentemente. A cobrança do pênalti no futebol é um exemplo interessante deste tipo de situação, pois exige do atleta a tomada de decisão do lado para o qual chutar. Porém, muitas vezes esta decisão é executada sobre a influência de vários fatores que afetam o desempenho no decorrer de uma partida no futebol, entre eles a fadiga. Com o objetivo de estudar o efeito de fadiga sobre o desempenho em uma tarefa de computador que simula alguns aspectos da cobrança de um pênalti no futebol, foram comparadas duas situações: controle e de fadiga muscular promovida por um sistema de alavanca com sobrecarga. Os voluntários permaneciam sentados em frente ao monitor de um computador que apresentava três pontos que representavam o cobrador, a bola e o goleiro. O goleiro poderia deslocar-se tanto para a direita como para a esquerda (aleatoriamente) em momentos diferentes. A tarefa do voluntário era a de inclinar uma alavanca no exato momento em que o cobrador, se deslocando em direção a bola, coincidisse com este último, e se possível a alavanca deveria ser inclinada na direção oposta ao movimento do goleiro. Os resultados indicaram um melhor desempenho no percentual de respostas com lateralidade correta e uma menor variabilidade (respostas demasiadamente antecipadas ou atrasadas) dos voluntários na condição controle do que em condição de fadiga.

Abstract in English
The Nervous System is capable of organizing, controlling and adjusting motor responses to sudden changes on the environment. In sports this ability is often tested. The penalty kick in soccer is an interesting example of this type of situation, because it requires of the kicker quick decision making as to which side to kick, depending on the last minute actions of the goalkeeper. However, often this decision influencedd by several factors which affect the performance during a soccer game, such as fatigue..In order to study the effect of fatigue on performance in a computer task which simulates some aspects of the penalty kick in soccer, two situations were compared: control and with fatigue, induced by a lever system with weights. Volunteers remained seated in front of a computer screen that presented three small circles, vertically aligned, which represented the kicker, the ball and the goalkeeper. At the beginning of each trial the kicker (lower circle) moved vertically up, at contant speed, toward the ball (middle circle) and at different times before kicker-ball contact the goalkeeper (upper circle) might move to the right or to the left, randomly. The task of participants was to incline a lever at the instant of kicker-ball superposition, and, if possible, to the side opposite to that of the goalkeeper's movement. Results indicated a slightly better performance in the percentage of trials with correct laterally, and lower temporal variability, with fewer delays or anticipations when participants were in the control rather than the fatigue condition.
