Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates different performance, physiological and neuromuscular changes after acute and chronic resistance training intervention in physically active men. The participants will train with a single exercise (full squat) and will be monitored with a linear encoder. The experiment will consist of between 3 to 6 sets between 70% to 85% of 1RM in the full squat exercise. Two main groups will form the intervention: one group will perform inter-set repetitions until there will be a 20% of velocity loss compared to the first repetition, while the second group will have a 40% of velocity loss.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main dependent variables and instruments will be:

1. Tensyomiography: neuromuscular properties of the vastus lateral (VL), rectus femoris (RF) and vastus medialis (VM) from the dominant leg.
2. Force platform: kinetic variables in relation to a countermovement jump.
3. Near-infrared spectrography: oxygen saturation in the VL and VM.
4. Termographic camera: low limbs temperatura.
5. Linear encoder: mean propulsive velocity from each repetition
6. Electromyography: amplitude and frequency parameters related to a knee extension maximum voluntary contraction test.
7. Strain gauge: maximum isometric force.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

20% velocity loss

This group will train with a variable number of repetitions during each set. The group will stop the set once the mean propulsive velocity will be 20% less compared to the first repetition.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Acute changes

Intervention Type OTHER

In a crossover design, participants will be randomized to perform on Day 1, 3 sets of repetitions (depending on each treatment group) at 70% or 1RM in the full squat exercise. 48-h later, same will be performed but in the contrary crossover arm.

Chronic changes

Intervention Type OTHER

In a randomized control trial, participants will train during 6 weeks the full squat exercise, 2 days in the week (minimum between-days rest of 48h). Intensity will vary from 70% to 85 of 1RM, and training volume from 3 to 6 sets.

Familiarization

Intervention Type OTHER

Prior to any intervention, all participants will perform a familiarization of the exercise session, together with a progressive resistance test to estimate the 1 RM

40% velocity loss

This group will train with a variable number of repetitions during each set. The group will stop the set once the mean propulsive velocity will be 40% less compared to the first repetition.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

In a crossover design, participants will be randomized to perform on Day 1, 3 sets of repetitions (depending on each treatment group) at 70% or 1RM in the full squat exercise. 48-h later, same will be performed but in the contrary crossover arm.

Intervention Type OTHER

In a randomized control trial, participants will train during 6 weeks the full squat exercise, 2 days in the week (minimum between-days rest of 48h). Intensity will vary from 70% to 85 of 1RM, and training volume from 3 to 6 sets.
