ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that preloading an antagonist muscle may increase the acute agonist neuromuscular performance. In addition, studies have suggested that very short-term resistance exercise (RE) programs may also be useful to increase strength and muscular performance. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of three days of RE using a reciprocal action method on the muscular performance of healthy men and to compare these effects with those of a traditional RE group. METHOD: Thirty-three men (21.1 ± 2.3 years) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1) reciprocal (REC; knee flexion immediately followed by a knee extension exercise); 2) traditional (TRA; non-preload; a concentric knee extension exercise); and 3) control (CON; no exercise). The REC and TRA subjects performed four sets of 10 repetitions at 60º/s with one minute of rest. The pre- and post-RE tests included two sets of four maximal concentric repetitions at 60º/s and 180º/s. A 3x2 ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc was used to analyze the differences in peak torque (PT), rating of acceleration development (RAD) and time to peak torque (TIMEtorque). RESULTS: A significant PT increase was found for REC and TRA (p<0.05) at 60º/s and for REC at 180º/s (p<0.05). There was a decrease in the RAD for REC and TRA (p<0.05), and TIMEtorque showed a significant decrease for REC. The inter-group analysis revealed that REC is more effective than TRA for PT gains at both velocities (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: It is recommended that REC offers benefits for the clinical practice of professionals involved in neuromuscular rehabilitation. .
RESUMO
CONTEXTUALIZAÇÃO: Estudos demonstraram que a pré-ativação de músculos antagonistas pode aumentar o desempenho neuromuscular agonista. Além disso, estudos sugerem que programas de exercício resistido (ER) de curta duração podem ser úteis para aumentar a força muscular e o desempenho. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar os efeitos de três sessões de ER por meio do método de ações recíprocas no desempenho muscular de homens sadios e comparar com um grupo de ER tradicional. MÉTODO: Trinta e três homens (21,1 ± 2,3 anos) foram randomicamente alocados em três grupos: Recíproco (REC: uma repetição de flexão do joelho imediatamente seguida por uma de extensão do joelho); Tradicional (TRA: exercício concêntrico de extensão do joelho) e Controle (CON: não realizaram exercício). O REC e o TRA realizaram quatro séries de dez repetições a 60º.s-1 com um minuto entre séries. As avaliações pré e pós-ER foram caracterizadas por duas séries de quatro repetições máximas a 60º.s-1 e 180º.s-1. Utilizou-se ANOVA 3x2, com post-hoc de Tukey para verificar diferenças no pico de torque (PT), taxa de desenvolvimento de aceleração (TDA) e tempo para atingir o PT (TEMPtorque). RESULTADOS: Houve um aumento do PT para o REC e o TRA (p<0.05) a 60º.s-1 e apenas para o REC a 180º.s-1 (p<0,05). Houve diminuição da TDA para o REC e o TRA (p<0,05) e, apenas no REC, o TEMPtorque apresentou quedas significantes. A análise intergrupos mostrou que o REC foi mais efetivo que o TRA para os ganhos de PT em ambas as velocidades (p<0,05). CONCLUSÃO: Sugere-se que a modalidade recíproca seja vantajosa para ...
