Abstract

The effects of a five-week resisting training on muscleskeleton variables were compared. Bodybuilding or body mass apparatuses as resistance were employed by non-trained young people. The control longitudinal study was performed on 26 voluntary young people divided into three similar groups: trained with bodybuilding apparatus (GAM), trained with body resistance (GRC); non-trained (GC). After 5 weeks, physical initial and re-evaluations involved flexibility, force and muscular resistance tests. Experimental groups undertook specific training protocols. There was significant difference in 9 out of the 15 variables analyzed which were favorable to GRC and in 5 which were favorable to GAM, when compared to GC. There was a significant difference between GRC and GAM for a single variable, favorable to GAM. Results showed that five weeks of resisting training were sufficient to produce significant changes on flexibility, force and muscle resistance.
