Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo da presente tese foi examinar e avaliar a dinâmica da atividade elétrica cortical durante uma tarefa cognitiva e a resposta `a aplicação da ETCC de alta definição (ETCC-HD) em atletas do sexo feminino de rugby sevens em dois momentos da temporada esportiva. Para tanto, vinte e uma atletas da seleção brasileira sub-20 e adulta de rugby sevens feminino foram avaliadas em dois momentos distintos da temporada: pré-temporada e após cinco meses de treinamento e competição (idade: 18,5 ± 1,1 anos; massa corporal: 84,9 kg; estatura: 181,5 cm). Foram avaliadas as potências espectrais nas frequências, assim como os índices espectrais nas condições Sham (placebo) e estimulação anódina com ETCC HD durante a tarefa de Stroop no primeiro momento antes da temporada e após cinco meses. Foi empregado o teste de Wilcoxon, para estimar o tamanho de efeito, foi utilizado o teste d de Cohen não-paramétrico. Em todas as análises foi adotado o n´nível de significância de 5%. Foi verificado maior responsividade a ETCC-HD no momento 1 em detrimento ao momento 2 na condição anódica nos ´índices espectrais: p-valor 0,05, tamanhos de efeito: 0,4346, 0,6908, 0,4717 (Região Central); 0,7647, 0,8044, 0,6109, (Região Frontal); 0,4648, 0,7265, 0,3089 (Total). Os resultados da presente tese indicam uma diminuição na expansividade da atividade cortical `a perturbação (ETCC-HD) no grupo de jogadoras de rúgbi sevens feminino após os 5 meses da temporada, com lentificação da atividade cortical em resposta aos impactos de cabeça. A redução na responsividade a ETCC-HD levanta importantes considerações para a aplicação de técnicas de neuromodulação em atletas que participam de esportes de contato/colisão

Abstract in English
The objective of this thesis was to examine and evaluate the dynamics of cortical electrical activity during a cognitive task and the response to the application of High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) in female rugby sevens athletes at two points in the sports season. To achieve this, twenty-one athletes from the Brazilian under-20 and adult womens rugby national team were assessed at two different times in the season: pre-season and after five months of training and competition (age: 18.5 ± 1.1 years; body mass: 84.9 kg; height: 181.5 cm). Spectral powers at frequencies were evaluated, as well as spectral indices under Sham (placebo) and anodic HD-tDCS conditions during the Stroop task at the first moment before the season and after five months. The Wilcoxon test was employed, and to estimate effect size, the non-parametric Cohens d test was used. A significance level of 5% was adopted for all analyses. Greater responsiveness to ETCC-HD was observed at moment 1 compared to moment 2 under anodic conditions in spectral indices: p-value 0.05, effect sizes: 0.4346, 0.6908, 0.4717 (Central Region); 0.7647, 0.8044, 0.6109 (Frontal Region); 0.4648, 0.7265, 0.3089 (Total). The results of this thesis indicate a decrease in cortical activity responsiveness to disruption (ETCC-HD) in the female rugby sevens players group after 5 months of the season, with a slowing of cortical activity in response to head impacts. The reduced responsiveness to ETCC-HD raises important considerations for the application of neuromodulation techniques in athletes participating in contact/collision sports
