The prescription of maximal dynamic strength training in both adults and children is based on the evaluation maximum strength, usually by one-repetition tests (1RM). This study examined test-retest reliability minimal detectable change (MDC) force test muscle power test. Forty-eight (9–14 years old) completed two test–retest sessions that involved a (1RM) for leg extension (LE) seated bench pre...

Oxygen uptake (VO2) and heart rate (HR) kinetics after exercise are important indicators of fitness and cardiovascular health. However, these variables have been little investigated in resistance exercise (RE). The current study compared post-exercise kinetics of VO2 and the HR among different types of REs. The study included 14 males (age: 26.5±5.4 years, body mass: 80.1±11.4 kg, body height: ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cardiac autonomic responses during upper versus lower limb discontinuous resistance exercise (RE) at different loads in healthy older men. METHOD Ten volunteers (65±1.2 years) underwent the one-repetition maximum (1RM) test to determine the maximum load for the bench press and the leg press. Discontinuous RE was initiated at a load of 10%1RM with subsequent increa...

Speed strength performances are heavily dependent on maximum strength. However, various testing methods determined inconsistent relationships between absolute and relative sprint jump performances. The aim of the study was to calculate one tailed correlation coefficients both One-Repetition Maximum (1RM) 1RM in relation body mass (1RM/BM) parallel squats different (squat countermovement jump) (...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 2 modes of aerobic exercise (continuous or intermittent) on maximum strength (1 repetition maximum, 1RM) and strength endurance (maximum repetitions at 80% of 1RM) for lower- and upper-body exercises to test the acute hypothesis in concurrent training (CT) interference. Eight physically active men (age: 26.9 +/- 4.2 years; body mass: 82.1...

Traditional exercise order dictates large muscle group or multijoint exercises should be performed before small muscle group or single joint exercises. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of exercise order on strength and muscle thickness (MT) in untrained men after 12 weeks of linear periodized resistance training. The participants were randomly assigned into three groups. O...

This study aimed to clarify the relationships between isometric squat (IS) using a back dynamometer and 1 repetition maximum (1RM) squat for maximum force and muscle activities and to examine the effectiveness of a 1RM estimation method based on IS. The subjects were 15 young men with weight training experience (mean age 20.7 ± 0.8 years, mean height 171.3 ± 4.4 cm, mean weight 64.4 ± 8.4 kg). ...
