IMPACTS OF MUSCLE TRAINING LOADS ON COLLEGE STUDENTS' PHYSICAL FITNESS

IMPACTOS DE CARGAS NO TREINAMENTO MUSCULAR SOBRE A APTIDÃO FÍSICA DOS ESTUDANTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS

IMPACTO DE CARGAS EN EL ENTRENAMIENTO MUSCULAR SOBRE LA APTITUD FÍSICA DE LOS ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Due to the excessive value of contemporary intellectual education, the physical fitness of college students has become precarious. This gradual deficit requires innovative solutions to inhibit the negative impacts on the physical quality that inevitably impact students' learning ability.

Objective:

Verify the impacts of varied loads in muscular strength exercise on college students and their practical repercussions on the diversified development of physical education classes.

Methods:

We selected 90 non-sporting college students, sedentary and without physical diseases, divided into experimental group 1 with medium intensity load, experimental group 2 with a low-intensity load, and a control group. Before and after the experiment, the relevant fitness indicators were evaluated, and finally, the data were statistically integrated and analyzed.

Results:

Group 1 increased from 52.25 ± 5.57kg before training to 54.56 ± 6.02kg, with a very significant change; experimental group 2 increased from 53.32 ± 4.89kg before training to 54.21 ± 5.22kg, showing a very significant change as well.

Conclusion:

Establishing the intensity of load muscle training scientifically and rationally can improve college students' physical quality and muscle strength, and promote the healthy and coordinated development of their psychological and physical quality. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
