Análise da magnitude de hipertrofia em grupos musculares distintos mediante treinamento de força

Abstract

The objective of this work, through a literature review, is to analyze possible adaptive discrepancies related to muscle hypertrophy between the femoral quadriceps, biceps brachii and brachial triceps muscles; and thus, analyze the possible causes for such adaptations. This study is a bibliographical review, in which the electronic databases were consulted: Google academic and PubMed. The keywords used in various combinations were: resistance training, muscle hypertrophy, strength training and muscle hypertrophy. Twenty-four articles related to strength training applied to the femoral quadriceps, biceps brachii and triceps brachii were described. At the end of the study, the results obtained by the authors described were relativized by the number of sessions applied by them. The group of elbow extensors presented higher averages of hypertrophy in relation to the elbow flexors and knee extensors, but since the number of sessions and protocols applied were different, more studies in this sense are necessary to improve this understanding.
