Effects of 6 weeks of low-volume combined training on muscle power, muscular strength, and aerobic power in active young adults
| Resumo: | The effects of combined training (CT) on sports performance are well established likewise, the potential of low-volume exercise on physical fitness. However, the efficacy of low-volume CT on measures of physical fitness requires more research. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyse the effects of low-volume CT performed during 6 weeks on muscle power, muscular strength, and maximal aerobic power (Wmax). Eighteen healthy, active young adults men (mean ± SD, 20.06 ± 1.66 years; 22.23 ± 2.76 kg/m2) performed either a low-volume CT (EG, n=9), or maintained a normal life (CG, n=9). The CT was composed by a resistance training (RT), 2 sets of 3 exercises with 80 to 85% 1RM, followed by a high intensity-interval training (HIIT), 5 sets of 60’’ with 95% Wmax. The measures of jump height, 1 maximal-repetition (1RM) in bench press and back squat, Wmax, and internal load were obtained before and after training for analysis. Furthermore, an ANOVA test of repeated measures and t-test paired samples were used with a p ≤ 0.05. The main results demonstrated that low-volume CT increased the jump height (p ≤ 0.05), 1RM on bench press and back squat (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively) and Wmax (p ≤ 0.01). In addition, the internal load had not significant differences between weeks (p > 0.05). For active young adults, the low-volume CT is effective and a time-efficient strategy to improve, jump height, 1RM in bench press and back squat, and Wmax without increasing the internal load. |
