Perfil neuromuscular de atletas de handebol durante curta competição no Brasil
Lima, Leonardo Coelho Rabello; Teixeira, Inaian Pignatti; Nakamura, Priscila Missak; Hayakawa, Marina Yumi; Assumpção, Claudio OliveiraThe aim of this study was to assess the neuromuscular profile of handball (TH) players during a short-term condensed competition. Nine TH athletes (age: 23 ± 3 years; height: 176.2 ± 10.5 cm; mass: 75.3 ± 8.6 kg) played 5 handball matches in 5 consecutive days and had exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) markers such as soreness (SOR), thigh circumference (CIR), knee range of motion (ROM) and countermovement j...
Postactivation Potentiation Biases Maximal Isometric Strength Assessment
Lima, Leonardo Coelho Rabello; Oliveira, Felipe Bruno Dias; Oliveira, Thiago Pires; Assumpção, Claudio de Oliveira; Greco, Camila CoelhoPostactivation potentiation (PAP) is known to enhance force production. Maximal isometric strength assessment protocols usually consist of two or more maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVCs). The objective of this study was to determine if PAP would influence isometric strength assessment. Healthy male volunteers ( = 23) performed two five-second MVCs separated by a 180-seconds interval. Changes in isom...
Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage and Running Economy in Humans
Assumpção, Claudio de Oliveira; Lima, Leonardo Coelho Rabello; Oliveira, Oliveira; Greco, Camila Coelho; Denadai, Benedito SérgioRunning economy (RE), defined as the energy demand for a given velocity of submaximal running, has been identified as a critical factor of overall distance running performance. Plyometric and resistance trainings, performed during a relatively short period of time (∼15–30 days), have been successfully used to improve RE in trained athletes. However, these exercise types, particularly when they are unaccustomed ...
