The stretching exercises, flexibility ability, have a negative acute effect on maximal strength and power. For our knowledge, there aren't studies that confirm this interference chronically. The aim of this study was to verify the influence of flexibility training immediately before of power training, jumps and sprints, in adults who have practiced the Rhythmic gymnastics (GR), Artistic gymnastics (GA) and/or Dance (D) for at least 5 years. The participants were divided into two groups: Strength/Power group (GF/P) and Flexibility plus Strength/Power group (GF-F/P). Vertical jump and sprint tests were performed before, and after 8 weeks of intervention. The data were collected through of MyJump2 and MySprint apps. Both of the groups demonstrated similar increases on jump and sprint parameters (power), suggesting that there is not a negative interference on this ability, even when flexibility is applied before strength/power training. |
