The aim of the present study was to perform a thermographic mapping of lower limbs in young futsal athletes. The study sample consisted of 19 young futsal athletes with a mean age of (15.8± 1.0 years), from the under-17 category. Thermographic images (thermograms) were collected using the thermography technique in the quadriceps, tibial, hamstrings and gastrocnemius muscles of athletes in both legs. The results showed similar values, with an average of 31.8°C for the right side and 31.9°C for the left side of the quadriceps musculature, 29.6°C for both sides of the tibialis, 31.5°C for the right side and 31.4°C for the left side of the hamstring muscles and 28.9°C for the right side and 28.8°C for the left side of the gastrocnemius muscles. We can conclude after the thermographic mapping that the analyzed musculature presented thermal symmetry, and that thermography is a non-invasive and reliable technique to trace a profile and detect possible muscle imbalance in athletes.
