Avaliação estabilométrica durante a execução dos exercícios rosca direta e rosca alternada com halteres

Abstract

The present study aimed to compare the displacement of the center of pressure during the execution of barbell curl and alternating dumbbell curl exercises. To this end, seven male individuals participated in the study, aged 18 or older, with at least 6 months of experience in weight training, and without a history of osteoarticular and/or muscular injuries at the time of the application. A force platform connected to an analog-to-digital converter was used as the data collection instrument. For data analysis, the paired Student’s T-Test was applied to test the differences between the means of the three attempts per participant within each exercise group. The data showed no significant differences between the exercises regarding the displacement of the center of pressure in the antero-posterior direction and total displacement, but significant differences were found in the medio-lateral direction. Future studies are suggested to explore the comparative analysis of postural control during the execution of other exercises in weight training.
