Abstract
Introduction: Self-myofascial release (SMFR) has been used to alleviate the symptoms of delayed onset muscle pain, increase range of joint movement and promote improvements in muscle strength performance.
Objective: To verify the effect of SMFR of antagonist muscles on total training volume (VTT) and fatigue index (FI) in trained men.
Methods: Eight recreationally trained men participated in the study. Crossover study, with random entry into the two experimental protocols: traditional protocol (GPT), with the execution of the training session with an interval between sets without ALMF; ALMF protocol (GALMF), with the execution of the training session with an interval between sets with antagonist ALMF. Statistical analysis was performed using the dependent T test.
Results: No significant differences were observed between the experimental protocols in VTT (p=0.975) and IF (p=0.495).
Conclusion: The use of ALMF of antagonists, between sets of a strength training session, does not seem to interfere with the VTT and IF of agonists
