Abstract:

Hemodynamic responses and subjective effort perception are parameters that generate consistent data for adjusting the variables of resistance training. The study aimed to analyze and compare both data in individuals submitted to three different resistance training methods (Crescent Pyramid, Rest Pause and SST) in the 45º leg press exercise. Ten individuals were divided into an advanced group in resistance training for at least 12 months; and inexperienced group, those who had no experience in the resistance training. The normality of the data was verified with the Shapiro-wilk test, the ANOVA test of repeated measures with Tukey's post hoc was used to compare the three methods between the groups, and moments, in addition to the effect size analysis. As a result, it was observed that the heart rate increased after the training session, in the three methods and in both groups; Increase in systolic blood pressure in inexperienced group and advanced group submitted to the rest pause method and in the group beginning with SST; The subjective effort perception of inexperienced group was higher than that of advanced group in response to the exercise. It is concluded that the modification of variables of this training and the practice generates superior hemodynamic responses after training, in addition, beginners are more sensitive to efforts.
