Abstract Exercise order is an essential variable of resistance training (RT) programs which is usually related to repetition performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effect of different resistance exercise order on the number of repetitions performed to failure and related ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). Thirteen male adolescents (age: 14.46 ± 1.39 years, body height: 165.31 ± 12.75 cm, body mass: 58.73 ± 12.27 kg, estimated body fat: 21.32 ± 2.84%), without previous experience in RT, performed four resistance exercises: incline leg press (ILP), dumbbell lunge (DL), bench press (BP) and lying barbell triceps extension (TE) in two sequences - Sequence A (SEQA): ILP, DL, BP and TE; sequence B (SEQB): ILP, BP, DL and TE. The exercise sequences were performed in a randomized crossover design with a rest interval of 72h between sessions. Within-subjects analysis showed significant differences in the number of repetitions performed to failure in both sequences, but not in the RPE. Post-hoc tests revealed significant decrements in the number of repetitions from the first to the remaining exercises in both sequences. However, pairwise comparisons did not indicate significant differences between the same exercises performed in different sequences. In conclusion, the results of the current study in adolescents suggest that the main exercises should be performed at the beginning of the RT session.

This study compared undifferentiated ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during short duration, very high intensity cycle exercise using high and low resistance. 30 recreationally trained males (24.2 ± 2.4 yr.) were memory-anchored to the Borg 15-category scale. The high and low resistance exercises were defined by 30-sec. maximum tests assigned in counterbalanced order, with resistances set before testing during an orientation session. High resistance was 10% of body mass. Low resistance resulted in the same total work as the high resistance over the 30-sec. sessions (± 5%) but increased pedal rate. RPE was taken at 8, 13, 18, 23, and 28 sec. during the high and the low resistance exercises. Measurements were compared using a 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance. RPE was significantly greater ( p = .005) for the high than the low resistance exercise at each interval. RPE increased when the subjects were required to pedal against a greater resistance and produce the highest forces. These RPE data are consistent with data from both aerobic cycle and resistance exercise. The data suggest that instantaneous force production, not summed work, is a primary determinant of RPE. All of these observations support Cafarelli's theoretical model of effort sense. In conclusion, as an individual generates more force during high resistance exercise than in light resistance exercise, a potential explanation of our results is that the increased motor outflow and corollary sensory signal lead to a greater sense of effort.

AbstractPrior research about the effects of the amount of exercised muscle mass upon cardiovascular responses (CVR) has neglected a potential bias related to total exercise and concentric/eccentric duration. Autonomic responses and perceived exertion (RPE) were compared in resistance exercises performed with larger and smaller muscle mass and matched for total exercise and concentric/eccentric duration. Twelve men performed 4 sets of 12 repetitions of unilateral (UNI) and bilateral (BIL) knee extensions at 70% of 12RM. Increases in CVR were always greater at the last set of BIL over UNI, as were SBP (35% vs. 23%), DBP (36% vs. 23%), HR (40% vs. 26%), RRP (90% vs 53%) and CO (55% vs 39%). No difference between protocols was found for autonomic modulation before and after exercise, but BIL induced significantly greater changes than UNI from baseline for R-R intervals (−13% vs. −7%), SDNN (−38% vs. −17%) and rMSSD (−41% vs. −21%). The rate of perceived exertion in the last set was higher in BIL than UNI (7.6±0.5 vs. 6.6±1.4 OMNI-RES; P<0.05) and did not correlate with any CVR. Thus, CVR were greater in resistance exercise performed with larger than smaller muscle mass. This information is relevant for patients with high cardiovascular risk.

Escalas de percepção subjetiva de esforço têm sido usadas há bastante tempo para se referir à intensidade de esforço no exercício aeróbio. Somente há pouco tempo foi validada a escala de OMNI-RES para exercício resistido, de modo que sua aplicação em algumas populações ainda é escassa. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a efetividade da escala de OMNI-RES em mulheres idosas hipertensas. Vinte e uma voluntárias (60.2±3,8 anos, IMC de 28,7±1,2 Kg/m2), realizaram quatro sessões de exercício resistido randomicamente ordenadas. Duas das sessões eram para membros inferiores (MI), com intensidades de 60% e 80% de 15 RM, e as outras duas, para membros superiores (MS), com as mesmas intensidades. As sessões tiveram três séries de 15 repetições e intervalos de 90 segundos. Ao final de cada série, mediu-se a frequência cardíaca e a percepção subjetiva foi referida pelas mulheres. Para a análise estatística, foi utilizado o teste de ANOVA two-way. A frequência cardíaca se apresentou significativamente mais elevada nas sessões a 80% de 15RM em relação a 60% de 15RM em todas as séries, tanto de membros superiores quanto de membros inferiores. Nos protocolos para MI, as mulheres referiram pontuações na escala de OMNI-RES sempre significativamente maiores ao final das três séries, com intensidade de 80% em relação a 60% de 15 RM (6,1±0,1 versus 3,7±0,1; 6,1±0,1 versus 3,8±0,2 e 6,1±0,1 versus 3,9±0,2 para as 1ª, 2ª e 3ª séries a 80 e 60% respectivamente). Nos protocolos para MS a pontuação na escala de OMNI-RES foi igualmente maior para os exercícios a 80% de 1RM em todas as séries (6,1±0,1 versus 3,5±0,1; 6,1±0,1 versus 3,5±0,1 e 6,1±0,1 versus 3,6±0,1 para as 1ª, 2ª e 3ª séries a 80 e 60% respectiva  mente). Os valores de pontuação foram equivalentes à classificação de razoavelmente leve e compatível com treino de endurance muscular segundo a escala de OMNI-RES nos exercícios a 60% de 15 RM e razoavelmente pesado e compatível com treinamento de hipertrofia para a intensidade de 80% de 15RM. Concluiu-se que a escala de OMNI-RES representa adequadamente a intensidade adotada em exercícios resistidos com características de Resistência Muscular Localizada (RML) e hipertrofia em mulheres idosas hipertensas. THE USE OF THE OMNI-RES SCALE IN HYPERTENSIVE ELDERLY abstract Scales of perceived exertion have been used for some time to refer to the intensity of effort in an aerobic exercise. Only recently the OMNI-RES scale has been validated for resistance exercise, as a result of that its application in some populations is still scarce. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the OMNI-RES scale in elderly women with hypertension. Twenty one volunteers (60,2 ± 3,8 years, BMI 28,7 ± 1,2 Kg/m2), undertook four sessions of resistance exercise ordered randomly. Two of those sessions were for lower limbs at intensities of 60% and 80% of 15RM, and the other two were for upper limbs with the same intensity. The sessions had 3 sets of 15 repetitions and intervals of 90 seconds. At the end of each series it was measured the heart rate and the subjective perception was reported by the women. For statistical analysis, it was used the two-way ANOVA test. Heart rate was significantly higher in sessions at 80% with 15RM than at 60% with 15RM in all series, both upper limbs and lower limbs. In the protocols for lower limbs, the women always reported significantly higher scores on the OMNI-RES at the end of the three series with an intensity of 80% compared to 60% with 15 RM (6,1 ± 0,1  versus 3,7 ± 0,1; 6,1 ± 0,1 versus 3,8 ± 0,2 and 6,1 ± 0,1 versus 3,9 ± 0,2 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades 80 and 60% respectively). The values in scores were equivalent to the classification of fairly mild consistent with muscle endurance training according to the OMNI-RES scale on the exercises at 60% with 15 RM and fairly heavy and consistent with hypertrophy training at an intensity of 80% with 15RM. It was concluded that the OMNI-RES scale adequately represented the adopted intensity in resistance exercises with features of RML and hypertrophy in hypertensive elderly women.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the OMNI Resistance Exercise scale (OMNI-RES) for monitoring the intensity of different modes of resistance training in children who are overweight or obese. Sixty-one children (mean age = 9.7 ± 1.4 years) performed three resistance training sessions every week for 4 weeks. Each session consisted of three sets of 3–15 repetitions of eight different resistance exercises. OMNI-RES RPE measures (0–10) were obtained following each set and following the end of the exercise session. There was a significant difference between average RPE (1.68 ± 0.61) and Session RPE (3.10 ± 1.18) during the 4 weeks of training (p < .05). There was no significant change in session RPE over the 4 weeks of training. The correlation coefficient between average and session RPE values was significant (r = .88, p < .05). The findings of the current study indicate that the RPE values are higher when OMNI-RES measures are obtained following the whole training session than when obtained following every single set of exercise. This suggests that in children the session RPE provides different information to the average RPE across the entire session.

Post Exercise Hypotension

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a method that has been used prior to resistance exercise to improve performance. However, little is known about its effect before a resistance exercise training session on hemodynamic responses. Thus, the aim of the study was to verify the acute effect of IPC before a session of resistance exercises on the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean blood pressure (MBP) of trained normotensive trained individuals. Sixteen men (25.3 ± 1.7 years; 78.4 ± 6.2 kg; 176.9 ± 5.4 cm, 25.1 ± 1.5 m2.kg−1) trained in resistance exercise (RE) (5.0 ± 1.7 years) were evaluated in five sessions on non-consecutive days. The first two sessions’ subjects performed one repetition maximum (RM) test and retest, and for the next three sessions, they performed the experimental protocols: (a) IPC + RE; (b) SHAM + RE; (c) RE. The RE protocol consisted of six multi-joint exercises, three sets at 80% of 1RM until concentric failure. Blood pressure was monitored pre-session, immediately after and every 10 min for 60 min after RE. IPC consisted of 4 × 5 min of vascular occlusion/reperfusion at 220 mmHg. SHAM (fake protocol) consisted of 20 mmHg of vascular occlusion/reperfusion. The IPC + RE protocol showed significant reductions on SBP, DBP, and MBP compared with SHAM + RE (p < 0.05) and with RE (p < 0.05). The IPC + RE protocol presented a greater magnitude and duration of post-exercise hypotension (PEH) from 20 to 60 min after exercise in SBP (−11 to 14 mmHg), DBP (−5 to 14 mmHg), and MBP (−7 to 13 mmHg). Therefore, we can conclude that the application of IPC before an RE session potentiated the PEH in normotensive individuals trained in resistance exercise.

Acute Increase

Resistance exercise (RE) causes an acute increase of the muscle thickness (MT) considered to relate to an increase in tissue water content. Segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (S-BIS) is a tool used to noninvasively assess intra- and extra-cellular water (ICW and ECW, respectively) of a given limb segment. The purpose of the present study was to examine the change of MT, ultrasound echo intensity (EI), ICW, and ECW after 3 sets of exhaustive RE. Eighteen untrained young males (age, 25.4 ± 4.1 years) performed RE consisting of 3 sets of knee extension concentric and eccentric contractions with 80% of 1-repetition maximum to failure. The MT and EI of the quadriceps measured by ultrasonography, and ECW/ICW ratio of the thigh assessed by S-BIS before (baseline) and after each set of RE (PostEx1, 2, and 3). The changes (Δ) in MT, EI, and ECW/ICW ratio were calculated as values of PostEx minus baseline values. The values of MT, EI, and ECW/ICW ratio at PostEx3 were significantly higher than baseline (effect size: MT, 1.11; EI, 0.47; and ECW/ICW ratio, 0.45). In addition, ΔMT was significantly and moderately correlated with ΔECW/ICW ratio (r = 0.61). Integrated data showed weak but significant correlation between ΔEI and ΔECW/ICW ratio as well (r = 0.31). The present results suggest multiple sets of exhaustive knee extension RE induce the acute increase of EI and ECW/ICW ratio as well as MT. The acute increase of muscle size after exercise can be at least partly explained by relative ECW increase.

We examined the effects of androstenedione supplementation on the hormonal profile of 10 males and its interaction with resistance exercise. Baseline testosterone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, and androstenedione concentrations were established by venous sampling at 3 hr intervals over 24 hr. Subjects ingested 200 mg of androstenedione daily for 2 days, with second and third day blood samples. Two weeks later, they ingested androstenedione or a placebo for 2 days, in a double-blind, cross-over design. On day 2, they performed heavy resistance exercise with blood sampled before, after, and 90 min post. The supplement elevated plasma androstenedione 2-3-fold and luteinizing hormone ∼70% but did not alter testosterone concentration. Exercise elevated testosterone, with no difference between conditions. Exercise in the supplemented condition significantly elevated plasma estradiol by ∼83% for 90 min. Androstenedione supplementation, thus, is unlikely to provide male athletes with any anabolic benefit and, with heavy resistance exercise, elevates estrogen. Key Words: testosterone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, fluid shifts, resistance exercise

Squat Lifting

A comparison between semi-squat and squat techniques was made for floor to knuckle height lifting using maximum acceptable weight (MAW), ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate. Semi-squat lifting resulted in greater MAW with lower RPE and lower heart rate compared to squat lifting. Discomfort was most commonly reported in knees/quadriceps with squat lifting. Twelve of the 13 subjects preferred the semi-squat technique. The results provide evidence that the semi-squat technique may have benefits over the squat technique for lifting a medium sized box from floor to knuckle height.

Resistance Exercises

Combined exercise training (CT) including aerobic plus resistance exercises could be more effective in comparison with aerobic exercise (AT) alone in reducing blood pressure variability (BPV) in hypertensive patients. We report that CT was indeed more effective than AT in reducing short-term BPV, and both exercise modalities reduced BP levels to the same extent. CT appears to be a more appropriate exercise modality if the objective is to reduce BPV in addition to BP levels.
