Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: do not obtain frequency of 100% of the proposed visits; reporting consumption of dietary supplements; alcoholic beverages 24 hours before the scheduled visit; diseases that make it impossible for them to continue in the training program (eg, musculoskeletal or cardiovascular aggravation); and obtain inadequate completion of any of the tests, as well as the experimental sessions.

Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Significant increase in blood lactate concentrations (unit of measurement: mmol / L) evaluated by the Accutrend Plus Roche device immediately after and after 24 hours when performing the 5 series and 12 repetition protocols with self-selected speed and maximum intentional speed of movement in the squat exercise on the guided bar.;Significant increase in the subjective perception of effort (unit of measure: AU) assessed by the OMNI-RES scale immediately after and after 24 hours when performing the 5 series and 12 repetition protocols with self-selected speed and maximum intentional speed of movement in the squat exercise on the guided bar.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Significant increase in time (seconds) in the functional performance test evaluated by the Latin American Development Maturity Group protocol immediately after and after 24 hours when performing the 5 series and 12 repetition protocols with self-selected speed and maximum intentional speed of the movement in the squat exercise on the guided bar.;Significant reduction in height (cm) and speed (m/s) of the jump evaluated by the Jump Test Duo jumping mat immediately after and after 24 hours when performing the protocols of 5 series and 12 repetitions with self-selected speed and maximum intentional speed of the movement in the squat exercise on the guided bar.;Significant increase in the fall risk score assessed by the Biodex Balance System immediately after and after 24 hours when performing the 5-series and 12-repetition protocols with self-selected speed and maximum intentional movement speed in the squat exercise on the guided bar.
