Revezamento 4x100 metros: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

Contextualization: Athletics is considered a basic sport, since in its practice there is the execution of basic and / or fundamental movements such as: jumps, throws, throws and runs. Among these activities, the 4 x 100 meters relay race, although it is classified as speed and performed as a team, the team with the fastest athletes does not always win first place. Objective: To investigate the studies and information produced on the variables that can influence the result in the 4x100 relay test. Methods: This Systematic Integrative Review was carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Reports (PRISMA), having as sources, studies that allowed to select information on the 4 x 100 meter relay, written in English, Portuguese or Spanish and collected from the portals and databases PubMed, Science Direct, Lilacs as well as from libraries and search engines. Thus, this integrative review followed the steps of: formulating the problem; literature search; data evaluation; data analysis and knowledge review / synthesis. Results: Out of a total of 183 studies, 19 were included in this review, with 14 (73.6%) using a quantitative approach, 1 (5.2%), a qualitative approach and 4 (21.2%), a mixed approach. It was also identified that 11 articles (57.8%), experimental design, 6 articles (31.6%) applied observational design and 2 articles (10.6%) applied experimental and observational design (Simulation). Conclusions: In this way, it was possible to observe that there is no predominant factor, but a set of variables, such as reaction and acceleration speed, resistance, coordination skills during movement. The sum of these variables added to the baton passing technique seems to influence the results of the competitions.
