RESUMO

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of two different reduced strength training programs on maximum dynamic strength (1RM), muscle power, and vertical jump (VJ) performance, and the maintenance of upper and lower limbs muscle mass (CSA). Thirty three young, physically active males, with no previous experience in strength training were randomly divided into three groups: reduced strength training 1 (i.e. 2 series x 8-6RM; 2x/week) (i.e. RST1), reduced strength training 2 (i.e. 4 series x 8-6RM; 1x/week) (i.e. RST2), and detraining (i.e. DE). Initially, all groups were submitted to 8 weeks of strength training (ST, 3-5 series, 15-6RM, 2-3x/week). After ST, groups RST1 and RST2 performed 8 weeks of reduced strength training, with changes in session volume and training frequency, while DE group stopped training. Mixed models analysis was used to compare 1RM, muscle power, VJ and CSA changes between groups and pre-ST, post-ST and post-RST. After 8 weeks of ST, we found significant increases of 27,9%, 26,7% and 28,4% in lower limbs 1RM and increases of 37,2%, 38,2% e 41,8% in upper limbs 1RM for RST1, RST2, and DE groups, respectively. We also found increases of 12,4%, 12,1% and 11,11% and 15,8%, 15,3% and 19,3% for lower and upper limbs power, respectively, for RST1, RST2, and DE groups. Vertical jump performance improved 4,5%, 4,8% and 4,2% for RST1, RST2, and DE groups, respectively; while lower and upper limbs CSA increased 6,9%, 6,1%, and 5,8%; and 7,1%, 8,8%, and 8,1%, respectively, for RST1, RST2, and DE groups. After the RST period, both RST1 and RST2 groups presented similar results when compared to the 8-week ST. However, the DE group showed significant decreases in lower (17,11%) and upper limbs (23,5%) 1RM; in lower (20,6%) and upper limbs (15,7%) muscle power; and in vertical jump performance (4%). Muscle cross sectional area was also reduced in lower (4,7%) and upper (5,7%) limbs after 8 weeks of DE. In conclusion, a RST period can promote maintenance of maximum dynamic strength, muscle power and vertical jump performance, and muscle mass independent of the training strategy
