Brief summary
The purposes of this research project are the following: • Determine the most effective strength training system to improve the physiological performance of water polo players, women and men. • Determine the least painful and most effective strength training system to maintain compensation of internal and external rotation in the glenohumeral joint of water polo players, women and men.
Interventions
The sample will be divide into two groups according to the type of training performed during the intervention: maximal strength group (MG) and power strength group (PG).
Players of each group will complete 24 sessions of training during 12 weeks. Each session is divided in 10 min of stretching and warm up, 45 min of workout and 5 min of return to rest. Both group will develop the training sessions in the gym of the water polo club, as they do usually. All of the players are familiarized with the
The sample will be divide into two groups according to the type of training performed during the intervention: maximal strength group (MG) and power strength group (PG). Players of each group will complete 24 sessions of training during 12 weeks. Each session is divided in 10 min of stretching and warm up, 45 min of workout and 5 min of return to rest. Both group will develop the training sessions in the gym of the water polo club, as they do usually. All of the players are familiarized with the exercises. The training session for the MG will base on weight lifting mainly, while for the PG will base on exercise balls weight bearing exercises. In order to calculate the appropriate weight, each player´s maximum repetition will be assessed before the training. All the training sessions will be supervised by their training coach. The adherence to the intervention will be assessed recording the assistance. Players will be also requested about wellness following the “Total Quality Recovery” questionnaire (McLean et al., 2010).
