Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the variables of acute neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) and its correlation with the serum concentration of creatine kinase (CK) pre- and post-training through performance analysis counter movement jump (CMJ). Methods: Eight male endurance performance athletes performed 3 trials CMJ in force platform before and after fatigue protocol high intensity intermittent running (PFAI) (fatiguing to the maximum possible rate of work for each repetition Protocol). A total of 8 variables were analyzed through CMJ and the biomarker CK before and after fatigue protocol. Results: No significant differences for the variables of mean force MF (P = 0,62. d = 0,03), time to peak force TTPF (P = 0,46. d = 0,43), jump height JH (P = 0,19. d = 0,65), flight time FT (P = 0,26. d = 0,58), relation flight time: contraction time FT: CT (P = 0,74. d = 0,59) and CK (P = 0,79. d = 0,31). Significant differences in variables of peak power (p = 0.008. d = 1,37) and contraction time (p = 0.01. d = 0,76) were found. Finally, Spearman’s correlation (Spearman’s Rho) for non-parametric tests was performed between peak power (PP) (p = 0.002) (r = 0.92) and contraction time (CT) (p = 0.001) (r = 0.97). Conclusions: There is a neuromuscular fatigue state in the acute phase determined of CMJ variables, independent of lineal relation CK production. Likewise, it is highlighted a major parameter the reduction of peak power and increment of contraction time in the neuromuscular performance.
