Behavior of glycemia plasmatic during a session of force training
Abstract
In recent years, numerous studies have shown the benefits of the strength training on the health and the physical conditioning; providing the profit or the maintenance of the muscular mass. Considering this, the search for the strength training has increased, as well as the search for alimentary supplements that could optimize the performance of the person. This study verified the behavior of the plasmatic glycemia during a strength training session in order to observe that there is no necessity to use carbohydrate supplement during the same. In the first day, 11 young people with experience in strength training had their glycemia measured before, during and after the free weight squats, unilateral lunges, lying leg curls and standing heel raises. Each exercise contained three series of eight repetitions, with one minute interval between a series and another, and with one minute and a half interval between the exercises. In the second day, the participants were only submitted to the plasmatic glucose verification, obeying the intervals between the measurements, however without doing the exercises. It was not verified significant differences between the plasmatic glycemia values during the strength training (experimental and control group). In conclusion: a) the plasmatic glycemia does not suffer significant alterations during a strength training session; b) the carbohydrate supplements, with the purpose to keep the plasmatic glycemia and to prevent the fall in the performance during a strength training session, do not possess utility in this case.
