ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of manipulation of the tri-set training system on the human performance. Six trained men (23.00 ± 4,24 years; 17.37 ± 1.39 % body fat) underwent four experimental sessions, in a balanced and randomized. A higther number of repetitions were observed only in SEQQB (p<0.038). However, when considered in isolation exercises showed significant differences between the sequences, with superior values in exercises bench press in SEQPA (p<0.001); flat dumbbell flys in SEQPB (p<0.009); squat in SEQQA (p<0.001); dead lift and leg extension in SEQQB (p<0.027 and p<0.002, respectively). The rate of perceived effort (CR-Borg-10) showed a significant difference only in SEQQB (p<0.026). The results suggest that in the tri-sets, with the involving of upper and lower limbs, the higher number of repetitions occur when the exercise, single or multiple-joint, is performed at the beginning of each sequences.
