Effects of flywheel training inter-set passive stretching on flexibility and neuromuscular capacity
摘要
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of static stretching performed between sets of resistance training with flywheels on muscle adaptations.
MethodsTwenty men (19.65 ± 1.35 years) were allocated to two experimental conditions: (a) resistance training protocol (RT) or (b) TR protocol + 120 s of static stretching between sets (SSRT). The resistance training was conducted 3 days a week for 8 weeks, with progressively increased training volume throughout the sessions.
ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two experimental conditions for anthropometric variables (p > 0.05), for the different manifestations of strength evaluated (p > 0.05) and for the muscle activation of the different muscles evaluated in MVIC and 1 RM test (p > 0.05). However, it alters the muscle activation at power exercises at 80% of 1 RM (p < 0.05). SSRT achieved an increase in hip flexibility (p = 0.04), while the group without stretching showed no significant differences.
ConclusionStretching between sets from RT does not decrease strength, does not alter muscle activation evaluated in MVIC and 1 RM test, volume, and internal training load, when compared to the same protocol, without performing previous stretching.
