Introduction: studies indicate that preactivation of the antagonist can improve performance on agonist exercise. Objective: investigate the effect of antagonist preactivation (PAA) on the 10 maximum repetition performance of the agonists. Methods: on sessions 1 and 2, the volunteers performed a test and retest of 10 maximum repetitions (RM) in the wide grip seated row (WSR). Sessions 3, 4, 5 and 6, a test and retest in the bench press in smith machine (BPS) was made in two conditions: traditional, without preactivation; PAA, one set in the WSR to the fatigue point and immediately a trial in the BPS every attempt, registering the maximum 10-RM load. Results: the BPS test without PAA was obtained 99 ± 10.5 kg, however when PAA was carried out in SR test was obtained 102.7 ± 12.7 kg. Conclusion: The study showed that the proposal to activate the antagonist before agonist may increase the strength of the agonist.Downloads
