ACUTE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT INTRA-SET RECOVERY STRATEGIES ON THE TOTAL TRAINING VOLUME IN TRAINED INDIVIDUALS

Abstract

Introduction: some recent studies show that static stretching (AE) and self-myofascial release (ALMF) exercises may promote deleterious effects or not interfere, either positively or negatively, in the performance of muscle strength. Purpose: to investigate the acute effects of different intra-set recovery strategies on total training volume (VTT) in deadlift (LT) exercise in trained individuals. Materials and methods: the sample consisted of 14 trained individuals, of both genders. Seven visits were carried out with intervals of 48 hours between them. In the first two visits, the following procedures were performed: a) filling in the pair - Q and the TCLE; b) anthropometric measurements; c) familiarization with experimental protocols; d) test and retest of 10 RM. In the other visits, the following experimental protocols were performed, randomly and on five different days: 1) execution of LT with passive recovery (P1) between series; 2) execution of LT with hamstrings AE (P2) between sets; 3) execution of LT with AE of quadriceps (P3) between sets; 4) execution of LT with ALMF of the lumbar region (P4) between sets; 5) execution of LT with ALMF of quadriceps (P5) between series. Results: no significant differences were observed between the experimental groups in the VTT. Conclusion it is suggested that coaches and physical conditioning professionals have complete autonomy to decide whether such intra-set recovery strategies should be used or not.
