Abstract
DIAS, H. et al. Number of repetition after different rest intervals between static stretching and resistance training. Rev Andal Med Deporte [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.3, pp.132-136. ISSN 2172-5063. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ramd.2015.05.009.
Objective:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different intervals between static stretching for hip adductor, quadriceps and hamstring muscles and resistance training in repetition performance.
Method:
Twenty-two trained men were submitted to the 10 repetition maximum test and retest for leg extension, leg curl and hip adduction exercises. Three protocols were conducted in a randomized design - PWI: resistance training immediately after static stretching; P15: fifteen-minute rest interval between static stretching and resistance training; P30: thirty-minute rest interval between static stretching and resistance training.
Results:
The total number of repetition [(sets*repetitions) + exercises] performed under P30 (84.55 ± 1.68) was significantly higher than P15 (79.73 ± 1.89) and PWI (68.09 ± 2.03), respectively. Significant differences were also found between P15 and P30.
Conclusions:
Therefore, 30-minute interval between static stretching and resistance exercises was needed to achieve greater repetition performance. Thus, static stretching for lower limbs may be avoided before a resistance training session.
