Comparação dos métodos de periodização linear e ondulatória no treinamento de força

Abstract

This study compared the linear and ondulatory periodization models in the raising of maximum strength in bench press(SR) and free squatting exercises(AL).Twentyeightresisted trainingexperiencedmen were distributed randomly in three groups: PO(n=10), PL(n=10) and control group (GC, n=8). 1RM tests were done for the exercises SR and AL. The PO group varied its volume and intensity weekly, taking 60%, 90%, 70% and 80% of 1RM value in 4 weeks, while PL took 60%, 70%, 80% e 90% of 1RM value in this period, while GC maintained the same training routine. In both SR and AL tests, the three groups raised their maximum strength, while PO showed itself superior over the other groups. All models were efficient, but PO showed a higher strength increase.
