Time Course of Strength and Power Recovery After Resistance Training With Different Movement Velocities

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the time course of strength and power recovery after a single bout of strength training designed with fast and slow contraction velocities. Nineteen male subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups: the slow-velocity contraction (SV) group and the fast velocity contraction (FV) group. Resistance training protocols consisted of 5 sets of 12 repetition maximum (5 × 12RM) with 50 seconds of rest between sets and 2 minutes between exercises. Contraction velocity was controlled by the execution time for each repetition (SV-6 seconds to complete concentric and eccentric phases and for FV-1.5 seconds). Leg Press 45° 1RM (LP 1RM), horizontal countermovement jump (HCMJ), and right thigh circumference (TC) were accessed in 6 distinct moments: base (1 week before exercise), 0 (immediately after exercises), 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after exercise protocol. The SV and FV presented significant LP 1RM decrements at 0, and these were still evident 24-48 hours postexercise. The magnitude of decline was significantly (p < 0.05) higher for FV. The SV and FV presented significant HCMJ decrements at 0, but only for FV were these still evident 24-72 hours postexercise. The SV and FV presented significant TC increments at 0, and these were still evident 24-48 hours postexercise for SV but for FV it continued up to 96 hours. The magnitude of increase was significantly (p < 0.05) higher for FV. In conclusion, the fast contraction velocity protocol resulted in greater decreases in LP 1RM and HCMJ performance, when compared with slow velocity. The results lead us to interpret that this variable may exert direct influence on acute muscle strength and power generation capacity.

The Effects of Combined Strength and Endurance Training on Running Performance the Following Day

“…self-paced). It has previously been reported that strength training with fast compared to slow contraction velocities caused greater exercise-induced fatigue (Ide et al, 2011). However, further research is warranted to systematically examine the eŠect of strength training contraction velocity on running performance.…”

Pré-condicionamento isquêmico e desempenho: há viabilidade/racionalidade na sua aplicação?

“…Assim, testes para determinar se o IPC poderia colaborar com o resultado posterior (por exemplo: 6 horas depois da aplicação) são direções futuras de pesquisa sobre este tópico promissor, mas ainda inconclusivo. Considerando que recente revisão sistemática sobre IPC e desempenho sugere que seus efeitos mais proeminentes ocorrem em atividades glicolíticas e aeróbias 10 , futuros trabalhos poderiam avaliar melhor os efeitos do IPC em diferentes modalidades, como, por exemplo, esportes de combate [38][39][40] e exercícios resistidos [41][42][43][44] (importante contribuição glicolítica) e diferentes modalidades de dança 45 que possuem significativo grau de contribuição aeróbia, dentre outras possibilidades.…”

“…Deteriorated results obtained in this test were probably caused by incomplete recovery in the activated muscles between individual training sessions. Ide et al [22] found that dynamic muscle work during resistance training requires more time for regeneration. The authors demonstrated that the muscle could be less efficient even up to 96 hours after the training session, which has an unfavorable effect on the work during consecutive motor tasks.…”
