Methods: It was recruited 105 healthy subjects (61 men and 44 women) with age between 18 and 44 years who were divided into groups trained and sedentary. Experienced in RT trained squat and military press. The remaining subjects had no experience in RT. Results: There were differences in strength between trained and sedentary men (p = 0.002) and gender (p = 0.0003), there was no difference between women trained and sedentary (p≥0.05). Conclusion: RT non specific increase the strength of the lumbar region in men. However, it is not enough in the female public.
