COSWIG, V.S.; DALL'AGNOL, C.  and  VECCHIO, F.B. Del. Anthropometric measurements usage to control the exercise intensity during the performance of suspension rowing and back squats. Rev Andal Med Deporte [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.3, pp.119-123. ISSN 2172-5063.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ramd.2015.09.003.

Objective: To verify the reproducibility and sensitivity of the procedure of load prescription from percentages of high and body mass in the suspension rowing (SR) and back squat (BS). Method: Ten athletes (age: 24.5 ± 3.7 years, weight: 77.8 ± 15.3 kg, height: 172.5 ± 5.1 cm) engaged in resistance training programs were evaluated. BS and RS exercises were performed during four different days, in different intensities. Loads equal to 25% and 50% of body mass were used in the BS. RS exercises were performed with the feet directly under the anchor point and 1/3 of athlete's height away from the anchor point. The highest number of repetitions executed were measured. Results: No differences were found between test and re-test, with high intraclass correlation coefficient values (ICC > 0.79). The average number of repetitions differ significantly among the exercises performed according to intensity proposed (RS: p < 0.001, BS: p = 0.03). Conclusion: The distance of the feet in relation to the zero point seems to be an easy and effective parameter for quantification of loads during RS training. Similarly occurs with the use of the body mass percentage for prescription of BS exercise.
