Efeito do treinamento de força com restrição de fluxo sanguíneo contínua e intermitente na força muscular em universitários

Abstract

Objective: The objective of the present study was to compare the effect of continuous or intermittent strength training (TF) on dynamic muscle strength (FMD) and isometric muscle strength (IMF) in healthy men. Methods: seventeen men with experience in TF and age group of 18 to 36 years were randomly divided into two experimental groups: a) four low loading exercises at 20% of 1RM combined with continuous blood flow restriction (BC + RFSC) and b) four exercises of low load at 20% of 1RM combined with restriction of intermittent blood flow (BC + RFSI). Twelve sessions of TF were performed (duration of six weeks, being twice a week). Before and after these sessions, FMD (through 1RM test) and IMF (through a manual dynamometry test) were evaluated. Results: it was observed that there were no differences between the groups for all variables (p> 0.05), but the two forms of SFR seem to promote improvements in the mean values when compared pre and post test in the FMD and IMF variables. Conclusion: The two forms of RFS (continuous or intermittent) seem to promote improvements in the mean values when compared pre and post test in FMD and IMF variables.
