Background
Resistance training is hardly recommended for postmenopausal women to counteract negative effects of hormonal changes. However, some concern exists about the marked hemodynamic responses caused by high-load resistance exercises. In this regard, studies on young, healthy, physically active individuals suggest that set configuration can mo...

INTRODUCTION: Menopause is a critical phase in women’s health, increasing the risks of hypertension and vascular dysfunction (1). Resistance exercise (RE) can promote a post-exercise hypotensive response in postmenopausal women (2). Set configuration can modulate the acute cardiovascular response to RE (3,4). However, menopause may influence the ac...
This study aimed to analyze the intersubject variability in the relationship between
percentage of velocity loss (%VL) and percentage of repetitions performed out of maximum possible (%MNR) in postmenopausal
women. Thirty-five postmenopausal active women (58 ± 3 years) performed sets leading to muscular failure, completing 10–13
repetitions, in bot...

This study explored the effects of wearing 2 types of face masks on mechanical performance and physiological responses during high-intensity resistance exercise. Twelve healthy men performed 3 workout protocols in a randomized order: wearing a surgical or filtering facepiece 2 (FFP2) mask or without a mask. Each workout consisted of 3 sets of 10 re...
Introducción. Con la irrupción de la Covid-19, el uso de mascarillas se volvió obligatorio o recomendable en los centros deportivos. Estudios previos indican que el rendimiento en pruebas aeróbicas se ve afectado por el uso de mascarillas (Fikenzer et al., 2020) mientras que las respuestas al entrenamiento de fuerza solo se han explorado en sesione...
Introduction. During a resistance exercise session (RE), the set duration and the number of sets shape the blood pressure (BP) response to a greater extent than the load (Gjøvaag et al., 2016; Lamotte et al., 2005). Hence, set configuration (i.e., the repetitions performed with respect to the maximum feasible number in a set (Iglesias-Soler et al.,...

Background:
Resistance training (RT) is currently recommended by health organizations as a significant component of a healthy fitness lifestyle and many prevention programs for several diseases1. Loading parameters can be manipulated in different ways, providing different effects. In order to prescribe RT with safety and maximal efficiency, the ef...
INTRODUCTION
Cluster training is defined as a set configuration in which rest periods are more frequent than traditional protocols (1). It has been suggested as a method for allowing each repetition of the set to be performed with the highest quality (2). By the manipulation of set configuration is possible to improve the velocity of training while...
Introduction
Cross education (CE) consists in strength transfer from trained to non-untrained limb after an unilateral strength training program (3). Neural adaptations are suggested as responsible of CE phenomenon (4), and it seems that characteristics of load are determinant in order to obtain significant improvements. The aim of this study was t...
INTRODUCTION:
After a resistance training (RT) session, cardiac vagal modulation decreases what entails an increase of cardiovascular risk (1). Several factors affect to this decrease in the cardiac vagal control, such as the level of the anaerobic metabolism contribution (2). Set configuration refers to the repetitions performed with respect to th...
This study aimed to compare the strength gains in the nontrained arm after 2 independent unilateral training programs differing in the set configuration. Thirty-five subjects were randomly assigned to 3 groups: traditional training (TT; n = 12), cluster training (CT; n = 11), or control (CON; n = 12). The experimental groups performed a 5-week trai...

El modelo lineal caracteriza FV para múltiples ejercicios (Cuk et al., 2014; García-Ramos, Jaric, Padial, & Feriche, 2015; Samozino, Rejc, Di Prampero, Belli, & Morin, 2012). La manipul...
INTRODUCCIÓN La transferencia de fuerza del miembro entrenado al no entrenado es conocida como cross education (1). Este fenómeno se produce tras entrenamientos unilaterales realizados con una intensidad que iguale o supere el 60% del 1RM (1 repetición máxima) según la bibliografía actual (2). La presente investigación se realizó con el objetivo de...
Introduction:
When multi-joint exercises are considered the inverse relationship between muscle force and shortening velocity (FV) has been typically fitted by linear regression models. Previous studies have analysed de feasibility of the variables calculated from linear models but not for parameters calculated from non-linear models.
Methods:...

Introducción. Mientras que la relación inversa entre fuerza y velocidad (F-V) ha sido ajustada mediante un modelo hiperbólico para fibras musculares aisladas, cuando se analizan movimientos complejos se observa una relación lineal. La aproximación lineal de F-V permite deducir algunos parámetros asociados al perfil mecánico del sujeto como la fuerz...
Resistance training sessions involving different exercises and set configurations may affect the acute cardiovascular recovery pattern. We explored the interaction between exercise type and set configuration on the postexercise cardiovagal withdrawal measured by heart rate variability and their hypotensive effect. Thirteen healthy participants (10R...
This study compared the functional and neural effects of two strength training programmes differing in set configuration. Thirteen participants performed 10 sessions, over a period of 5 weeks, of unilateral leg extensions with different set configurations but with identical work-to-rest ratios for each limb: a traditional configuration (4 sets of 8...
INTRODUCTION
Resistance exercise produces a sudden increase in blood pressure (BP), so trainers should be careful when provide training in special populations. Many studies have shown that the length of the set determines the response of BP, with higher levels with each subsequent repetition and a peak occurring prior to muscular failure. In additi...
