Resumo
Background. This study investigated the effects of two 14-week resistance training
protocols with different repetition duration (RD) performed to muscle failure (MF) on
gains in strength and muscle hypertrophy as well as on normalized electromyographic
(EMG) amplitude and force-angle relationships.
Methods. The left and right legs of ten untrained males were assigned to either one
of the two protocols (2-s or 6-s RD) incorporating unilateral knee extension exercise.
Both protocols were performed with 34 sets, 5060% of the one-repetition maximum
(1RM), and 3 min rest. Rectus femoris and vastus lateralis cross-sectional areas (CSA),
maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) at 30o and 90o of knee flexion and
1RM performance were assessed before and after the training period. In addition,
normalized EMG amplitude-angle and force-angle relationships were assessed in the
6th and 39th experimental sessions.
Results. The 6-s RD protocol induced larger gains in MVIC at 30o of knee angle
measurement than the 2-s RD protocol. Increases in MVIC at 90o of knee angle, 1RM,
rectus femoris and vastus lateralis CSA were not significant between the 2-s and 6-s
RDprotocols. Moreover, different normalized EMG amplitude-angle and force-angle
values were detected between protocols over most of the angles analyzed.
Conclusion. Performing longer RD could be a more appropriate strategy to provide
greater gains in isometric maximal muscle strength at shortened knee positions.
However, similar maximum dynamic strength and muscle hypertrophy gains would
be provided by protocols with different RD.
