Training effects in single and multiple sets in training individuals- DOI: 10.4025/actascihealthsci.v31i2.5237

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to compare the effects of training between single and multiple series sessions using the following exercises: leg press 45º (LP), chest press (CP), flexion chair (FC), front pull-downs pulley (LPDP), extension chair (EC), bicps curl (BC) and triceps pulley (TP), in 24. 3 day/weeks sessions. Twenty subjects divided in two groups were trained: GI simple series (25.7 ± 1.77 years; 177 ± 6.99 cm, 78.8 ± 10.75 kg); and G3 multiple series (25.5 ± 2.46 years; 175.2 ± 7.22 cm, 74.9 ± 7.42 kg). They went submited through to 10RM testing and retesting to obtain the load, respecting a 48 hour interval. The comparison between groups showed the following results: (p < 0.05): LP (Δ% G3 = 25.04 > Δ% G1 = 6.98), MF (Δ% G3 = 33.44 > Δ% G1 = 6.86), ME (Δ% G3 = 53.56 > Δ% G1 = 8.13). The 3 day/weeks multiple series training undertaken for 8 weeks, brought significant changes in muscular strength when compared with results obtained from single series, due to more stimulus volume.
