Abstract

Introduction: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, preventive measures to reduce infection risk were adopted, such as social distancing and closing commercial activities. Therefore, stay active at home is recommended to maintain physical and mental health during this period. Objective: To verify the effect of a home-based exercise program during the quarantine due to COVID-19 in motivation and physical performance in recreational female futsal team. Methods: Nine participants (26.0 ± 4.7 years old) performed four weeks of full-body training using a circuit resistance training format, three times per week. Participants performed physical tests (e.g., long jump, abdominal, and upper limb resistance) pre-and post-exercise-program. In each session were evaluated the training motivation (Likert Scale 0 to 4) and global effort perception (Borg 6-20). Results: Only five participants reached 80% of the training sessions. Current participants reported lower motivation for training through the weeks and perceived a "moderate" intensity. The performance in all physical tests increased. Conclusion: The results suggest that the home-based exercise program during the quarantine due to COVID-19 was sufficient to increase the physical performance in the recreational female futsal team. However, the quarantine period may impair the program's adherence and a decrease in training motivation. Models of protocols based on psychophysiological responses are encouraged to improving adherence to the home-based exercise program, especially during the quarantine period.
