摘要:Asano RY, Levada-Pires AC, Moraes JFVN, Sales MM, Coelho JMO, Neto WB, Neto JB, Tibana RA, Sousa JC, Prestes J, Simões HG, Pithon-Curi TC. American College Sports Medicine Strength Training and Responses in Beginners. JEPonline 2012;15(5):1-9. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute physiological effects of three guidelines for muscle hypertrophy, muscle strength, and endurance, as suggested by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Eleven untrained men performed a random sequence of 3 strength training protocols in accordance with ACSM’s standardized strength training guidelines. Blood pressure, heart rate, glucose, lactate, rate of perceived exertion, and creatine kinase activity were investigated before and after training. Our results demonstrate that among the three training protocols recommended by the ACSM for untrained individuals, the hypertrophy protocol produced muscle tissue damage, high lactate concentration, and hypoglycemia. In regards to the physiological responses, only moderate changes were found in all protocols.
