Abstract

Introduction: The volume in a resistance exercise (RE) session can change flexibility. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the acute effect of a training session with different volumes flexibility, immediately after the session and 24 and 48 hours after the training session. Methods: Study participants were 61 volunteers (24.31 ± 0,81 year) males randomly assigned to three groups: control group (CG), two series (G2S) and three series (G3S). All groups were assessed before and after training in the sit and reach test, Goniometry (shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and spine) and test 10 Maximum Repetitions (RM). The training was composed of nine exercises that involved all tested joints and was run 10 repetitions of each exercise with moderate intensity. Results: There was an increase of the flexibility levels for most shoulder movements; hip (extension) and trunk (flexion and extension) when comparing before and after training for all undergoing training groups (p <0.05). Conclusion: A RE session with different volumes is able to modify the flexibility of triaxial joints.
