There were two primary goals in this investigation. The first goal was to determine if inter-individual variability in time to exhaustion at the velocity associated with V02max (Tlim at Vmax) was explained by anaerobic capacity (AC), Vmax, anaerobic threshold (AT), and/or a combination variable in the form [AC • (Vmax - vAT)^-1]. The second goal was to determine if AC could be predicted from Tlim at Vmax, AT, and/or a combination variable in the form [Tlim • (Vmax - vAT)].

Different field tests are currently used in a wide extent in different levels of soccer teams. To be able to assess the players’ physiological status the tests must have high validity, reliability and external validity. Many different tests have been developt, but currently only five of these tests are most commonly used: Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test (YIRT), Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test (YIET), Multi-sprint-test, Beep-test and Cooper-test. Presently there is no definitive conclusion regarding which of these tests is most suitable for soccer players. Therefore the present study aimed to, on the basis of previous studies evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the five most commonly used field test; to analyze the physiological requirements on soccer players with respect to their aerobic and anaerobic capacity; and last to compare among the five field tests and evaluate the validity of the field tests through comparison of field tests results with results from laboratory and soccer matches. During soccer match about 75-96 % of the energy is provided by the aerobic systems, while the rest, 4-25 %, is provided by the anaerobic systems. This fits approximately most of the results from both field tests and laboratory tests through measurement of either pulse, running distance, VO2max or lactate. Among the five tests, Yo-Yo tests (YIRT and YIET) has the best correlation to soccer match with respect to physiological demands on both aerobic and anaerobic capacities. Among the different Yo-Yo tests YIRT2 seems to be the best compared to YIET1, YIET2 and YIRT1.

Para responder essas questões foram realizados quatro experimentos, que tiveram como objetivos: verificar a validade do MAODALT e a influência da utilização de diferentes intensidades de exercício supramáximo (Experimento 1); verificar possíveis associações entre o MAODALT e as variáveis de desempenho provenientes do teste de Wingate (WAnT) (Experimento 2); verificar a sensibilidade do MAODALT em discriminar indivíduos com diferentes níveis de treinamento (Experimento 3); verificar o efeito da ingestão aguda de cafeína sobre o MAODALT (Experimento 4). No experimento 1, catorze indivíduos moderadamente ativos (26±6 anos) foram submetidos a um teste incremental máximo para determinação do consumo máximo de oxigênio ("V" ̇O2MAX) e da intensidade associada ao "V" ̇O2MAX (i"V" ̇O2MAX), dez exercícios em intensidades submáximas (30-90% da i"V" ̇O2MAX) e oito exercícios em intensidades supramáximas (100-150% da i"V" ̇O2MAX). Ainda, onze ciclistas (28±4 anos) foram submetidos a um teste incremental e a dois esforços supramáximos (teste e reteste) na intensidade que apresentou o melhor nível de concordância com o máximo déficit acumulado de oxigênio determinado de modo convencional (MAODC). No experimento 2, quinze ciclistas de mountain biking do sexo masculino (31±5 anos) foram submetidos a um teste incremental, um esforço supramáximo à intensidade de 115% da i"V" ̇O2MAX e um WAnT. No Experimento 3, cinquenta e cinco sujeitos foram divididos em três grupos: não treinados, recreacionalmente treinados e treinados. Em seguida, foram submetidos ao teste incremental e a um esforço supramáximo. E no Experimento 4, catorze ciclistas do sexo masculino (30±6 anos) foram submetidos a um teste incremental e a dois esforços supramáximos suplementando previamente cafeína (6 mg•kg-1) ou placebo (dextrose) em um desenho duplo cego e cruzado. Como resultados gerais, foi verificado que: 1) MAODALT é um procedimento válido para estimar a capacidade anaeróbia, mas sofre influência da intensidade supramáxima; 2) a intensidade de exercício supramáximo que apresentou o melhor nível de associação com o MAODC correspondeu a 115% da i"V" ̇O2MAX; 3) MAODALT apresentou associações com as variáveis do WAnT; 4) MAODALT parece ser sensível em discriminar indivíduos com diferentes níveis de treinamento; 5) a ingestão aguda de cafeína melhorou o tempo até a exaustão, mas o MAODALT permaneceu inalterado. Conclui-se que o MAODALT é válido para estimativa da capacidade anaeróbia, reprodutível à intensidade de 115% da i"V" ̇O2MAX, apresenta associações com o desempenho em teste anaeróbio, é sensível em discriminar indivíduos com diferentes níveis de aptidão física e permanece inalterado após suplementação aguda de cafeína. / The present study was proposed to verify issues related to the validity, reliability and sensibility of an alternative protocol to estimate the maximal accumulated oxygen deficit using only supramaximal effort (MAODALT) in cycling. In order to answer these questions, four experiments were carried out with the following objectives: to verify the validity of MAODALT and the effect of the use of different supramaximal intensities (Experiment 1); to verify possible associations between the MAODALT and performance in the Wingate test (WAnT) (Experiment 2); to verify the sensibility of MAODALT in to discriminate individuals with different training status (Experiment 3); to verify the effect of caffeine acute ingestion on MAODALT (Experiment 4). In the Experiment 1, fourteen active men (26±6 years) performed a maximal incremental test to determine the maximal oxygen uptake ("V" ̇O2MAX) and the intensity associated to "V" ̇O2MAX (i"V" ̇O2MAX), ten submaximal efforts (30-90% da i"V" ̇O2MAX) and eight supramaximal efforts (100-150% da i"V" ̇O2MAX). In addition, eleven cyclists (28±4 years) were submitted to a maximal incremental test and two supramaximal efforts at intensity that presented the best level of agreement with the maximal accumulated oxygen deficit determined by conventional method (MAODC). In Experiment 2, fifteen mountain biking men cyclists (31±5 years) performed a maximal incremental test, a supramaximal effort at 115% of the i"V" ̇O2MAX and a WAnT. In Experiment 3, fifty-five men were divided in three groups: untrained, recreationally trained and trained. The subjects performed a maximal incremental test and a supramaximal effort. In Experiment 4, fourteen cyclists male (30±6 years) were submitted to a maximal incremental test and two supramaximal efforts previously supplementing caffeine (6 mg•kg-1) or placebo (dextrose) in a double blind and crossover design. Such as results, it was verified that: 1) the MAODALT is a valid procedure to estimate the anaerobic capacity, however suffer influence of the supramaximal effort intensity; 2) The supramaximal intensity that presented the best level of agreement with the MAODC corresponds to 115% of the i"V" ̇O2MAX; 3) the MAODALT expressed in absolute values showed associations with the anaerobic performance evaluated in the WAnT; 4) the MAODALT seems to be sensible in to discriminate individuals with different training status. 5) The caffeine acute ingestion improved the time to exhaustion in the supramaximal effort, however, the MAODALT remained unaltered. Therefore, we concluded that the MAODALT is a valid procedure to estimate the anaerobic capacity, reproducible at 115% of i"V" ̇O2MAX, presents associations with the performance in anaerobic test, remains unaltered after caffeine supplementation and is sensible in to discriminate individuals with different physical fitness. / FAPESP: 2014/02892-5

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of training at a particular time of day on anaerobic capacity in the morning and in the afternoon.

This study wished to compare the same physiological responses of elite athletes to a typical intermediate term anaerobic capacity track running session with those of standing cycling of similar intensity and duration. Twelve well trained/elite male distance runners completed maximal running, standing cycling and strength testing sessions; and Intermediate Term Anaerobic Capacity Sessions (ITACS) in running and standing cycling; each comprising eight efforts of approximately 30 seconds duration at 90% maximal effort in each mode of activity, separated by 2 minutes rest. The experimental sessions took place from the end of November 1996 to the beginning of March 1997. The subjects were required to attend three maximal experimental sessions, which were performed on separate days and used for baseline data collection. On completing these they participated in both running and standing cycling ITACS, performed on separate days with at least 48 hours between each test protocol. There was complete randomisation of all test protocols. Descriptive statistics were determined for all the variables. Independent t-testing was used to determine if similar temperature and humidity readings were obtained during the maximal testing for each mode of activity. Paired t-testing was used to compare the differences in warmup heart rates between the maximal and ITACS, the differences in peak lactates obtained after each type of ITACS, draw comparisons between heart rate (HR) changes over time during the ITACS and determine if a difference existed between workloads for the two modes of activity. It was also used to draw a comparison between the peak BLa values and ascertain if pre-test creatine kinase (CK) levels were the same for each mode of activity. A repeated measures one way ANOVA was used to determine if workload reduced over time for each type of ITACS. A three way ANOVA with repeated measures on one factor (repetition) was performed on HR response. It was used to determine if there was a difference between the workload/recovery HR response; if workload/recovery HR values increased over the duration of each ITACS; and if the workload/recovery HR response over time was mode specific. A two way ANOVA with repeated measures on one factor (repetition) was performed on blood lactate (BLa) response. It was used to determine if there was a significant interaction between the mode of activity and time, if BLa increased over the duration of each ITACS and if there was an effect of mode on its own on the BLa response. A two way repeated measures ANOVA was used to ascertain whether there was a difference in CK levels between the two modes of activity, with Tukey's multiple comparison tests used in post hoc analyses to show the amount of difference. A linear regression analysis was performed to determine if BLa response was similar across the duration of each type of ITACS. The effects of temperature (22.3 ± 1.2 vs 21.1 ± 0.3 °C, run vs cycle, t = -0.94, n = 12, p = 0.36)) and humidity (57 ±4.2 vs 52 ± 1.7%, run versus cycle, t = -1.04, n = 12, p = 0.31) did not influence any of the results obtained during the ITACS. Nor did differing warmup intensities (as indicated by heart rate - HR) during the maximal (160 ± 5.7 vs 158 ± 3.1 beats per minute (bpm), run vs cycle, t = - 0.45, n = 9, p = 0.66) and ITACS (160 ± 3.6 vs 152 ± 3.1 bpm, run vs cycle, t = -2.81, n = 9, p = 0.02). An equal test preparation was confirmed by the warmup blood lactate (BLa) levels, which were not significantly different between the exercise modes for both the maximal (11.0 ±0.6 vs 11.8 ± 1.0 mmol-l1, run vs cycle, t = 2.26, ii n = 10, p =0.23) and ITACS (4.2 ± 0.7 vs 4.2 ± 0.6 mmol-1 ', run vs cycle, t = 0.27, n = 10, p = 0.796). A significantly higher workload was achieved during the running ITACS as compared to the standing cycling ITACS (105 ± 1.1 vs 89 ±2.9 %, run vs cycle, t = 10.45, n = 12, p<0.0005). The increase in workload/recovery HR response and their changes as each type of ITACS progressed was not mode specific [F(l,40) = 0.94, p > 0.05]. Those subjects who possessed high BLa concentrations performed less work on the cycle ergometer. There was a strong negative relationship for average workloads and BLa accumulation for the standing cycling exercise (Spearmans rho = -0.799, n = 11, p<0.005) suggesting that BLa accumulation was a limiting factor in work production. The increase in BLa levels was not mode specific F(l,20) = 1.36, p > 0.05]. The BLa response was comparatively similar because the rate of increase in BLa accumulation and peak BLa values (19.7 vs 16.9 mmol-l'1, cycle vs run, t = 2.1, n = 11, p = 0.06) were not significantly different between the modes of activity. Mode in conjunction with time affected standing cycling BLa response to a greater extent than running BLa levels [F(4.80) =3.929, p <. 0.05]. Standing cycling BLa concentrations were significantly negatively correlated with knee extension peak torque (Spearmans rho = - 0.771, n = 11, p < 0.01) and total work (Spearmans rho = - 0.802, n = 11, p < 0.01) measurements. In running they were negatively correlated with knee flexion total work measurements (Spearman rho = - 0.685, n = 11, p < 0.05) These findings suggest that BLa accumulation occurs from different muscle fibre recruitment patterns. Less work was performed in isokinetic knee extension following standing cycling as compared to running (2234 ± 68.4 vs 2462 ± 78.9 Nm, t = 2.23, n = 11, p < 0.05) suggesting that standing cycling is more fatiguing on the quadriceps than running. There was no difference in the knee flexion testing (1799 ± 89.6 vs 1785 ± 69.2, cycle vs run, t = 2.23, n = 11, p = 0.96). There was a significant difference in mean creatine kinase (CK) activity between the two modes 24 hours after completing the ITACS (450 ± 73.2 vs 320 ± 46.5 I/U, running vs cycle, F = 6.44, df = 1,17, p < 0.01). There was a significantly greater increase in CK activity and therefore muscle damage, following the running (mean increase of 190 I/U) as compared to the standing cycling session (mean increase of 44.0 I/U). In terms of reducing the risk of injury, achieving a similar cardiovascular response and achieving comparable BLa accumulation (even though mechanism/s of accumulation may be different) standing cycling appears to be is a satisfactory substitute for running during an ITACS. The results of this research strengthen the concept of utilising a simulated mode of activity as a substitute for the primary activity in order to maximise transfer effects, providing there is a careful balance between the specific training and the near specific training. The differing physiological responses between the exercise modes (ie- different muscle fibre recruitment patterns, different workload capacity, different CK measures) suggest that standing cycling cannot act as a total/comprehensive replacement for running. A training study is warranted to further investigate the findings of this research.

Background: Practical blood flow restriction (pBFR) combined with resistance training has been proven to facilitate muscle strength despite training at low intensity. However, research investigating the effects of long-term pBFR-training and its periodization with strength training (ST) at a higher intensity is lacking, as well as the effects of occlusion training on blood lactate levels (BLL) over time. Purpose: To compare the effects of 2 weeks of pBFR training followed by 2 weeks of ST (BFR-ST) with 2 weeks of ST followed by 2 weeks of pBFR training (ST-BFR) on anaerobic performace and BLL. Method: 5 adults (age 23 ± 2 years) with a minimum of 1 year of ST experience were recruited and randomized into BFR-ST (n=2) or ST-BFR (n=3). Anaerobic performance was measured using a 30-s Wingate-test and BLL samples were collected &lt;1 and 5 minutes post-Wingate. Data and samples were collected before the intervention and after the 2 protocols. Results: No differences were seen between groups in anaerobic output or BLL after 4 weeks of training (p&gt;0,1 for all values). A decrease in time to peak power (tPP) were seen in both groups with an advantage for BFR-ST (-37 ± 8 %) over ST-BFR (-27 ± 22 %). BLL decreased after 2 weeks of pBFR (-14 ± 26 % at &lt;1 min and -7 ± 14 % at 5 min) and increased after 2 weeks of ST (+26 ± 45 % at &lt;1 min and +8 ± 20 % at 5 min). Conclusion: The results of this study suggests that occlusion training in conjunction with resistance training can reduce tPP, that BFR-ST has greater impact on this quality compared to ST-BFR and that pBFR-training seems to lower post-Wingate BLL. Thus pBFR-training combined with ST could be an interesting alternative to a traditional periodized resistance training program.

Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti įvairaus amžiaus ir lyties orientacininkų kojų tiesiamųjų raumenų galingumą ir atsparumą nuovargiui vertikalaus šuoliavimo testo metu. Buvo ištirti 92 orientacininkai, pagal amžių (metais) ir lytį (moteriška, M; vyriška, V) suskirstyti į šešias grupes: M15–17 merginos (n = 19), M18–20 merginos (n = 9), M>21 moterys (n = 4), V15–17 jaunuoliai (n = 21), V18–20 vaikinai (n = 18), V > 21 vyrai (n = 21). Vertikalių šuolių aukštį matavome pagal C. Bosco metodiką. Po standartinės pramankštos tiriamieji ant 60x60 cm dydžio kontaktinio kilimėlio atliko po tris vienkartinius maksimalių pastangų vertikalius šuolius su rankų mostu ir be mosto, o paskui 60 s šuoliavo maksimaliomis pastangomis, amortizuojamai pritūpdami iki 90° kampo per kelius (rankas laikydami ant juosmens). Vienkartinio vertikalaus šuolio aukštis (taigi ir kojų tiesiamųjų raumenų galingumas) nepriklausė nuo amžiaus, tačiau visose amžiaus grupėse vyriška lytis tiriamieji pašokdavo aukščiau. Lyginant orientacininkių gebėjimą aukštai pašokti su rankų mostu ir be mosto, reikšmingus pašokimo aukščio skirtumus nustatėme 15–17 ir 18–20 metų amžiaus orientacininkių grupėse, o tarp orientacininkų šis skirtumas buvo reikšmingas visose amžiaus grupėse (p < 0,001). Išanalizavę šuolių aukščio kaitą 1 min. šuoliavimo testo metu pastebėjome, kad statistiškai reikšmingi vargstamumo skirtumai amžiaus aspektu buvo tik tarp M15–17 ir M18–20 grupių (p < 0,05), o lyties aspektu – tarp M15–17 ir V15–17 grupių...

According to age (years) and gender (males, M; females, F), six groups of athletes were singled out: F15–17 (n = 19), F18–20 (n = 9), F>21 (n = 4), M15–17 (n = 21), M18–20 (n = 18), and M>21 (n = 21). After a standard warm-up, subjects performed maximal intensity vertical jumps on the contact mat sized 60x60 cm. After orienteers made jumps with and without arm swing (3 attempts each), all-out vertical jumps for 60 sec with a shock-absorbing squat to 90° knee angle, arms akimbo, were performed. The jump height was measured according to C. Bosco et al., using a flight-phase time as a sole indicator. There were no statistically significant differences in the height of the single vertical jump between age groups, irrespectively of the gender. However, statistically significant differences were observed in the height of the single vertical jump in all age groups in respect to gender. The comparison of vertical jumps performed by females with and without arm swing revealed statistically significant difference only between F15–17 and F18–20 groups, while the difference in jump height between two modes was statistically significant in male orienteers of all age groups (p < 0.001). F15–17 and F18–20 groups differed in respect to fatigue index during 60 sec test (p < 0.05). The different fatigue index was observed in respect... [to full text]

Participaram n este estudo descritivo 22 homens s audáveis ( 29,18 ± 7,13 anos, 175,27 ± 5,8 estatura e 71,54 ± 8,52 de massa), divididos em dois grupos, fisicamente ativo (n = 11) e corredores amadores (n = 11) com V O 2máx de 43,17 ± 4,46 mL·kg - 1 ·min - 1 para atividade física e 55,45 ± 5,58 mL·kg - 1 ·min - 1 para corredores amadores, respectivamente. Os voluntários realizaram três esforços supramáximos em dias diferentes a 115% da intensidade associada a V O 2max (i V O 2max115% ) para estimar a capacidade anaeróbia (CA), calcular o trabalho mecânico total (W [tot] ) e testar a confiabilidade dos dados biomecânicos variáveis (isto é, trabalho mecânico e cinemática de corrida). Foram calculadas as correlações de Pairwise Person entre todas as variáveis biomecânicas e AC, bem como o desempenho de esforço supramáxi mo para verificar as correlações e uma análise de regressão múltipla foi calculada para obter o melhor preditor de AC e desempenho do esforço supramáximo. Uma ANOVA two way foi utilizada para verificar a confiabilidade dos cálculos do trabalho mecânico e v erificar as diferenças nas variáveis biomecânicas ao longo do esforço supramáximo (dividido em quatro períodos de tempo). Os principais achados do estudo foram: 1) O tempo de balanço (SWT) e a frequência de passos (SF) foram encontrados associados a vari áveis metabólicas nos corredores e somente o trabalho interno (W [int] ) em ati vos . A análise de regressão pareada revelou que essas variáveis explicaram 52,6% e 42,4% da variabilidade na CA. 2) Além disso, em relação ao desempenho supramáximo, a energia potencial (E PE ) explica 47,2% da variabilidade em corredores e o SwT explica 40,8% da variabilidade em ativos . 3) o re - teste teve um efeito de aprendizagem entre os corredores, porque eles usaram 27,42% menos trabalho mecânico no teste válido. É pos sível concluir que SF é o melhor preditor de AC em corredores e o W [int] é o melhor preditor de AC em ativos. A familiarização afeta o trabalho mecânico de acordo com a experiência de corrida. No entanto, o trabalho mecânico pode precisar de mais de dois t estes para se estabilizar. / The purpose of the present study was t o determine the influence of biomechanical variables on anaerobic capacity and performance assessed with a supramaximal effort and if this relationship is depend ing on training expe rience reflected in the running technique . 22 healthy men participated in this descriptive study (29.18 ± 7.13 years , 175.27 ± 5.8 height and 71.54 ± 8.52 of mass ) , divided in two groups, physical active (n=11) and amateur runners (n=11) with a V O 2max of 43.17±4.46 mL · kg - 1 · min - 1 for physical active and 55.45±5.58 mL · kg - 1 · min - 1 for amateur runners respectively. T he volunteers performed three supramaximal effort s in different days at 115% of the intensity associated to V O 2max ( i V O 2max 115% ) i n order to esti mate the anaerobic capacity (AC) , calculate the total mechanical work (W [tot] ) and to test reliability of biomechanical variables (i.e. mechanical work and running kinematics ) . Pairwise Person correlations were calculated between all the biomechanical vari ables and AC as well as supramaximal effort performance to verify correlations and a multiple stepwise regression analysis were calculated in order to obtain the best predictor of AC and supramaximal effort performance. An ANOVA two way was used to verify the reliability of mechanical work calculations and to verify differences in biomechanical variables along the supramaximal effort (divided in four - time periods) . The major findings of the study were : 1) The swing time (SwT) and the step frequency (SF) were found to be associated with metabolic variables in the runners and only the internal work (W [int] ) in physical active . Pairwise regression analysis revealed that these variables explained 52.6% and 42.4% of the variability in AC . 2) In addition, regarding the supramaximal performance, the potential energy ( E PE ) explains 47.2% of the variability in runners and SwT explains 40.8% of the variability in physical active. 3) the re test had a learning effect among runners because they used 27.42% less mechanical w ork in the valid test. It is possible to conclude that SF is the best predictor of AC in runners and the W [int] is the best predictor of AC in physical actives. The familiarization affects the mechanical work according to running experience. However, mecha nical work expenditure may need more than two trials to stabilized.

Para isso, o projeto foi dividido em dois estudos independentes. No Estudo A, 14 ciclistas recreacionais do sexo masculino (34 ± 4 anos) foram submetidos a 5 sessões de avaliações. Na primeira sessão realizaram teste incremental até exaustão (TInc), na segunda e terceira avaliações realizaram familiarização ao esforço supramáximo a 115% da ("iV" ) ̇"O" _"2max" , enquanto que na quarta e quinta sessões os participantes realizaram de maneira randomizada o esforço supramáximo a 115% da ("iV" ) ̇"O" _"2max" com e sem PAP (controle). Como esforço indutor da PAP, foram realizados 5 drop jumps (15s de intervalo entre eles) antes do esforço supramáximo. Nas sessões 4 e 5, a fadiga neuromuscular foi avaliada por meio de contrações voluntárias máximas (CVM) de extensão do joelho e estimulação elétrica periférica (PNS) realizadas antes e após o esforço supramáximo. Além disso, a eletromiografia de superfície foi realizada durante o esforço supramáximo para mensuração da roots mean square (EMGRMS) e a frequência mediana (EMGFM) e analisadas de forma estratificada a cada 25% de tempo total de esforço (0-25%, 25-50%, 50-75% e 75-100%). No Estudo B, 16 ciclistas recreacionais do sexo masculino (33 ± 6 anos) realizaram desenho experimental semelhante ao estudo A, entretanto na quarta e quinta sessões, as contribuições dos sistemas metabólicos foram mensuradas pelo componente rápido do excesso de consumo de oxigênio pós exercício (EPOC) (via dos fosfagênios) e pelo delta de lactato (via glicolítica), assumindo a soma das contribuições dessas vias como capacidade anaeróbia (AC[La-]+EPOCrápido), além disso a capacidade anaeróbia também foi mensurada pelo déficit máximo de oxigênio acumulado. Como resultados, no estudo A foi verificado uma melhora do significativa desempenho no esforço supramáximo após a realização da PAP (p=0,02; Δ%=+9,85%). Ambas condições (controle e PAP) apresentaram quedas significativas na força pico medidas durante a CVM e na força evocada pelo estímulo elétrico duplo na musculatura em repouso (p<0,01 e p<0,01, respectivamente) quando comparado o momento pré e pós esforço, indicando uma fadiga periférica causada pelo esforço. Entretanto não houve interação entre as condições (F=4,19; p=0,06 e F=3,03; p=0,09, respectivamente). A EMGRMS e a EMGFM do último quarto de esforço (75-100%) foi significativamente maior que os momentos 0-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, para ambas as condições (p<0,02), entretanto não houve interação entre grupos (p<0,05). No Estudo B o desempenho no esforço supramáximo foi significativamente maior na condição PAP (p=0,05; Δ%=+7,44%). A contribuição glicolítica e a capacidade anaeróbia mensurada pelo AC[La-]+EPOCrápido foram maiores após a PAP (p=0,002; Δ%= +9,09% e p=0,04; Δ%= +7,75%, respectivamente), entretanto, a contribuição dos fosfagênios não apresentou diferenças significativas entre condições (p=0,35). Portanto, a PAP foi efetiva em melhorar o desempenho em um esforço supramáximo em ciclo ergômetro, tendo sua melhora acompanhada por um aumento da participação glicolítica e da capacidade anaeróbia, além de causar uma “preservação” do aparato neuromuscular durante o esforço para o vasto lateral e o glúteo máximo. / The aim of the present study was investigating the effects of post activation potentiation (PAP) induced by drop jumps in performance during a supramaximal effort at 115% of the intensity associated with maximal oxygen uptake (iV̇ O2max) on a cycle ergometer, also investigating the influence of PAP on neuromuscular fatigue (central and peripheral) and, on the non-oxidative metabolic pathways (anaerobic capacity, glycolytic pathway and phosphagen). Therefore, the project was divided in two independent studies. In Study A, 14 recreational male cyclists (34 ± 4 years) underwent 5 sessions of evaluations, in the first session they performed a graded exercise test (GXT), in the second and third evaluations they performed familiarization to the supramaximal effort to 115% of the iV̇ O2max. In the fourth and fifth sessions, the participants randomly performed the supramaximal effort at 115% of the iV̇ O2max with PAP and without PAP (control). To induce PAP, the volunteers performed 5 drop jumps (15s interval between them) 2 minutes before the supramaximal effort. In sessions 4 and 5, neuromuscular fatigue was assessed by maximal voluntary contractions (CVM) of knee extension with peripheral electrical stimulation (SNP) performed before and after the supramaximal effort. In addition, surface electromyography was performed during the supramaximal effort to measure roots mean square (EMGRMS) and the median frequency (EMGFM) for every 25% of total effort time (0-25%, 25-50%, 50-75% and 75-100% %). In Study B, 14 male recreational cyclists (33 ± 6 years) performed experimental design similar to study A, however in the fourth and fifth session, the contributions of the non-oxydative metabolic systems were measured by the fast component of the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and the lactate delta (glycolytic pathway), assuming the sum of the contributions of these pathways as anaerobic capacity (AC[La -] + EPOCfast). In addition, the anaerobic capacity was also measured by the maximum accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD). In study A, an improvement in the supramaximal effort was observed after PAP (p=0.02, Δ%=+9.85%). Both conditions (control and PAP) showed significant decrease in the peak force measured during the CVM and in the force evoked by the double electric stimulus in the resting muscles (p<0.01 and p <0.01, respectively) when compared to the pre and post moments, indicating peripheral fatigue caused by the supramaximal effort. However, ere was no interaction between the conditions (F=4.19, p=0.06 and F=3.03, p=0.09, respectively). The EMGRMS and EMGFM of the last quarter of effort (75- 100%) was significantly higher than the 0-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, moments for both conditions (p <0.02), however there was no interaction between groups (p<0.05). In Study B, performance on supramaximal effort was significantly higher in the PAP condition (p=0.05, Δ%=+7.44%). The glycolytic contribution and the anaerobic capacity measured by AC[La -] + EPOCfast was higher after PAP (p=0,002; Δ%= +9,09% e p=0,04; Δ%= +7,75%, respectively), however, the contribution of the phosphagen pathway did not show significant differences between conditions (p = 0.35). Therefore, the PAP was effective in improving the performance in a supramáximo effort in cycle ergometer, having its improvement accompanied by an increase in the glycolytic participation and in anaerobic capacity, in addition to causing a "preservation" of the neuromuscular apparatus during the effort for the vastus lateralis and gluteus maximus / FAPESP: 2016/17836-2
