“…7 Previous evidences have been suggested that PS training allows a similar or higher strength performance than traditional set (TS) training, with a significant reduction in the duration of training session. 6,8,9 Robbins et al 7 , observed similar training volume between TS (with 4-minute rest interval between sets and exercises) and PS (with 2-minute rest interval) training for bench pull and bench press exercises, with four repetition maximum (RM) loads. However, Robbins et al 7 , noted a higher efficiency (training volume/time) under PS, compared to TS considering training session duration.…”

“…The authors associated these results to a fatigue state induced by antagonist manipulation. Recently, Maia et al 9 , observed significant increases on vastus medialis and rectus femoris muscle activation during a set of leg extension exercise (10RM loads) followed by lying leg curl exercise, adopting limited or shorter rest intervals (30 s and 1-minute), compared to a protocol without antagonist preloading. These results supports the hypotheses which indicate that antagonist preactivation could improve the agonist muscle activation and strength performance.…”

“…However, Robbins et al 7 , noted a higher efficiency (training volume/time) under PS, compared to TS considering training session duration. Recently, Maia et al 9 found significant increases on repetition performance and electromyographic (EMG) data of vastus medialis and rectus femoris during leg extension followed by lying leg curl exercise (with 10RM loads), compared to a set of leg extension exercise performed without antagonist preloading. Similar results were noted by Paz et al 10 , who noted higher repetition performance and muscle activation of latissimus dorsi and biceps brachii for seated row exercise (10RM loads) immediately after a of bench press, when compared to set of seated row without antagonist preloading.…”

Objective: To investigate the effect of different exercise sequences during agonist---antagonist paired sets on training volume, ratings of perceived exertion, and muscle activation. Material and methods: Thirteen recreationally trained males participated in this study. Two protocols were adopted in two non-consecutive days. BS ---participants performed three repetition to failure sets (with 8 repetition maximum loads) of bench-press (BP) followed by seated row exercise in alternate manner. SB ---the seated row (SR) was performed before bench press. Two-minute rest interval was adopted between sets and exercises. The number of repetitions and electromyography signals of the posterior deltoids (PD), biceps brachii (BB), pectoralis major (PM), and triceps brachii (TB) muscles were recorded during both exercises. Results: No significant differences were noted in training volume (1486.6 ± 200.3; 1492 ± 282.5) and total work (22.3 ± 1.3; 22 ± 2) BS and SB sequences for BP, respectively. Higher training volume (1709.7 ± 177.6; 1424.4 ± 196) and total work (25.3 ± 1.8; 21 ± 1.6) were noted for SR under BS compared to SB. Higher PD activation was noted during SR under BS compared to SB. Conclusion: The exercise sequence showed significant differences in strength performance and agonist muscle activation during agonist---antagonist paired sets for SR exercise. These results suggest that antagonist pre-loading may have a potential effect on back muscles. © 2014 Consell Català de l'Esport. Documento descargado de http://www.apunts.org el 29/09/2015.

Material y método: Trece deportistas de recreación, hombres, fueron voluntariamente sometidos a este estudio. Se aplicaron 2 protocolos en 2 días no consecutivos. Protocolo BR: los participantes realizaron 3 series de ejercicios de press de banca (PB) hasta el agotamiento (con carga de 8 repeticiones máximas) seguidas del ejercicio de remo sentado (RS), alternadamente. Protocolo RB: el remo sentado se realizó antes del PB. Se adoptó un intervalo de recuperación de 2 min. Entre repeticiones y ejercicios. Durante los 2 ejercicios se anotaron el número de repeticiones y la señal electromiográfica de los músculos deltoides posterior (DP), del bíceps braquial (BB), del pectoral mayor (PM) y del tríceps braquial (TB).

“…Previous research has demonstrated the importance of varying training methods to provide increasing and consistent results [3][4][5] . One of these methods consists of performing an exercise that requires simultaneous actions of contralateral muscles that perform opposite movements, for example, the right elbow flexors and the left elbow extensors 6 .…”

-Aim: the aim was to investigate the influence of a maximal isometric muscle action of the elbow extensors on the contralateral dynamic task of the elbow flexors. Methods: Seventeen recreationally trained men (23.3 ± 4.9 yrs, BMI: 24.8 ± 2.2 Kg/m²) underwent two randomized different testing sessions separated by one week. In the control session (CON) all subjects performed a maximum number of repetitions test (RMs) at 75%1RM using the right elbow flexors. The experimental session (EXP) was similar to the CON; however, all subjects were instructed to perform RMs at 75%1RM by using the right elbow flexors and maintaining the maximal voluntary contraction of the left elbow extensors during the test. RMs, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and training volume (TV) were measured and compared between sessions. Results: The EXP showed a significant 10.4% increase on the RMs (13.8 vs. 12.5, p < 0.001, d = 0.44) and 12.1% increase in TV (238.0 vs. 212.4 kg, p < 0.001, d = 0.43) than CON. No differences were observed for RPE between sessions. Conclusion: The maximum voluntary contraction of the left elbow extensors increased the RMs of the contralateral elbow flexors, reflecting a higher TV, and no differences in the RPE. Our results suggest that the investigated method may be a viable and practical alternative to increase the acute strength performance of elbow flexors when using submaximal loads.

“…Os autores analisaram três séries de flexão seguida de extensão, bem como a ordem inversa, com intervalo de recuperação (IR) de 90 segundos entre as séries, na qual foi observada maior volume total de treinamento quando a flexão precedeu a extensão. Por outro lado, Maia et al 14 compararam diferentes IR (imediatamente após, 30 segundos, um minuto, três minutos e cinco minutos) entre os exercícios mesa flexora e cadeira extensora, utilizando o método tradicional (apenas cadeira extensora) versus o método PAA (cadeira flexora + cadeira extensora). Os autores utilizaram, ainda, o modelo de série única para analisar o desempenho máximo de repetições e constataram que os intervalos mínimos (imediatamente após, 30 segundos e um minuto) são mais indicados para um maior desempenho de repetições.…”

ResumoIntrodução: O método pareado agonista-antagonista (PAA) consiste em estimular previamente a musculatura antagonista do grupo muscular que se deseja otimizar, aumentando a ativação neural e força dos músculos agonistas. Objetivo: Comparar o método tradicional vs PAA sobre o trabalho total (TT) e volume de treinamento (VT) no exercício cadeira extensora (CE). Métodos: Doze mulheres treinadas realizaram dois protocolos experimentais randomizados: método tradicional -quatro séries da CE até a falha concêntrica; método PAA: quatro séries de mesa flexora (MF) + CE até a falha concêntrica. Foi dado um intervalo de 30 segundos entre os dois exercícios. Resultados: Pôde-se observar diferença significativa tanto no TT como VT, para o método PAA quando comparado ao tradicional. Conclusão: Sugere-se assim que o método PAA apresenta-se como melhor estratégia para otimização do desempenho de repetições máximas se comparado ao método tradicional, além de apresentar possibilidade de redução no tempo despendido para o treinamento.Descritores: Exercício; Desempenho; Força muscular; Treinamento de resistência. AbstractIntroduction: The agonist-antagonist paired set method (PAA) consists of previously stimulating the antagonist muscle of the muscle group to be optimized, increasing the neural activation and agonist muscle strength. Objective: To compare the traditional method vs PAA on total work (TT) and training volume (VT) in the leg extension exercise (LE). Methods: Twelve trained women performed two randomized experimental protocols: traditional method -four LE sets until a concentric failure; PAA Method: four sets of leg curl (LC) + CE until a concentric failure. An interval of 30 seconds was given between the two exercises. Results: A significant difference was observed in both TT and VT, for the PAA method compared to the traditional method. Conclusion: It is suggested that the PAA method presents itself as a better strategy for optimizing the maximum number of repetitions performance when compared to the traditional method, in addition to the possibility of reducing the length of training.
