Efeito agudo do HIIT e do alongamento no controle inibitório, desempenho matemático e na variabilidade da frequência cardíaca: Um ensaio randomizado e cruzado

Abstract

Resistance Training (RT) is a modality that has high applicability and efficiency in physical, clinical and functional contexts. The scientific advance in this modality, a series of recommendations for the manipulation of variables and dosage of RT emerged for different purposes and population. However, it is not clear how these RT prescription guidelines affect responsiveness, characterized like an individual's particular capacity for respond to/benefit from an intervention, for a given measure. Therefore, the aim of the study was to carry out a systematic review to investigate the effect of RT on the responsiveness of healthy adults, in variables of strength, power, functionality and muscle hypertrophy, based on the prevalence rate. Only randomized clinical trials, in English, indexed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, EMBASE and SPORTDiscus databases, published until June 2021, were considered. The study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), identified by the code CRD42021265378. After the study selection process, the risk of bias was analyzed using the ROB2 tool from Chrocrane. After the search strategy, 3033 studies were found and, through the screening process, 13 studies were selected for systematic analysis. As for the effectiveness of the RT, the prevalence range for non-responders individuals to muscle strength was 0% to 44%, for hypertrophy 0% and 84% and functionality 0 to 42%, while, for muscle power, only one study investigated the responsiveness rate and reported 37%. Therefore, it seems that alterations to muscle hypertrophy may be less sensitive to RT, compared to other variables. Larger RT volume tends to be more effective overall, however intensity may be a key factor in some cases. However, the principle of specificity can be the most important aspect to effectivity of TR in these variables of interest. Moreover, it is important to consider methodological and statistical aspects when analyzing outcomes in responsiveness.
