Unlabelled: Variable resistance training has been widely used in athletic preparation.

Objectives: To analyze the use of currents (VRT) and the traditional method (TRAD) on speed, power and temperature in a training session.

Methods: Fourteen paralympic powerlifting (PP) athletes took part over three weeks.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of mean propulsive velocity (MPV) as an indicator of neuromuscular fatigue during strength training in Paralympic powerlifting athletes.
  • Two training methods were compared: traditional (TRAD) and eccentric (ECC), with findings showing that TRAD resulted in minimal performance loss (~5%) and no significant decline in MPV, while ECC led to a more considerable performance loss (~12%).
  • The results imply that MPV may not be a reliable measure of neuromuscular fatigue in this context, suggesting it is more useful for monitoring training volume rather than fatigue levels.

(1) Background: An elevated wrist circumference may indicate excess weight and cardiometabolic risk. The present study aims to identify wrist circumference cutoff points (WrC) to determine excess weight levels and predict cardiometabolic risk in adults. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with adults aged 20 to 59 years old, attending the outpatient clinic at University Hospital/Federal University of Sergipe HU/UFS-EBSERH.

Background: Strength training is a complex task, as it requires a combination of many variables. In paralympic powerlifting (PP) asymmetries for the evaluation of activation, and static force indicators have been increasingly studied.

Objective: To investigate the asymmetries in the strength and muscle activation indicators, before and after a training session of PP athletes.

Background: Paralympic powerlifting (PP) training is typically intense and causes fatigue and alterations in the immune system. Objective: To analyze whether IBU would affect performance and the immune system after training in PP. Methodology: 10 athletes at the national level (NL) and 10 at the regional level (RL) participated in the study, where force and blood indicators were evaluated after training.

Background: Paralympic Powerlifting (PP) training tends to promote fatigue and oxidative stress.

Objective: To analyze the effects of ibuprofen use on performance and oxidative stress in post-training PP athletes.

Methodology: Ten national level PP athletes (age: 27.
