Abstract

Objective: Evaluate the influence of resistance exercise order in the perception of effort and number of repetitions in elderly women. Methods: 10 elderly women (68.15 ± 4.40 years) performed two different resistance exercise sequences for upper body. Sequence A (SA): vertical bench press machine (VBP), Lat Pull down (LPD), shoulder press (SP), Arm Curl (AC) and Triceps extension high pulley (TE). Sequence B (SB): reverse order. The perception effort was evaluated by OMNI and BORG scale. The number of repetitions were recorded for each set and exercise. Results: The perception of effort (OMNI scale) for SB (7.80 ± 1.39; p= 0.03) was statistically higher compared to SA (6.70 ± 0.94) for SV exercise, in the second set. On the other hand, the perception effort analyzed by BORG scale in the second set demonstrated statistically higher values in the SA (14.90 ± 2.60; p= 0,03) compared to SB (13.10 ± 1.59) in the TP exercise. The volume of repetitions in the VBP exercise was significantly higher in the SA (13.30 ± 2.11; p=0.001) compared to SB (11.40 ± 3.23), second Set., the number of repetitions were statistically higher (p=0,001) in the SB compared to SA in the second and third sets for AC and TE exercises, respectively. Conclusion: The exercise order may influence the number of repetitions for upper body in the elderly women.
