Abstract

In high-performance sport it is important to carry out a control to athletes, which must start from the evaluation of physical abilities every certain period of time; for this you should choose  the appropriate tests and instruments  considering the gesture and driving pattern of each discipline, as well as the characteristics of each subject. The  objective of this research was based on the comparison of two measuring instruments  validated in the strength analysis:  T-Force® in which the squat and Optogait® test was carried out with the Squat Jump Protocol (SJ) to evaluate maximum power in professional footballers of two football teams in the city of  Bogotá. Descriptive study, correlated scope of cross-sectional type. It was attended by 38 male athletes, who performed the SJ tests on Optogait and squat test in T-Force; for the processing and analysis of the data a T test was performed for related samples. Significant differences were found between the results of both tests, where the maximum power obtained was higher with T-Force test, but the deviation of the data was lower in the case of the Optogait. According to the results, sand determined that the best method for measuring maximum power in footballers is the T-Force.
