Analysis of acute lactate behavior and glucose in metabolic and tensional training sets

Abstract

Follow the biochemical changes of regular exercising participants can contribute for the understanding of the benefits that the treatment provides in short and long terms. Therefore, the objective of the present research was to investigate the acute response of the lactate and the glucose during tensional and metabolic sets of training. The sample was composed by nine bodybuilding participant men, in an average age of 29.3 ± 6.4 years old and with experience exceeding one year in the practice of bodybuilding. To participate in the present study participants performed lactate and glucose blood plots at rest and entered the four sets of bench press in the tensional and metabolic training. The data were presented in form of average and default detour. To verify the resting difference between the physiological mark sets the Anova test was made, followed by the Tukey test (p<0,05). The resting lactate in the tensional training showed values of 3.3 ± 1.9 mmol/l and by the end of the four sets 6.6 ± 3.1 mmol/l for p>0,05. For the metabolic training the resting lactate showed values of 2.5 ± 0.8 mmol/l and by the end of the four sets 10.9 ± 4.1 mmol/l for p<0.01. The resting glucose before the tensional and metabolic method showed values of 94.5 ± 19.6 mg/dL and 88.0 ± 8.5 mg/dL respectively, without showing a significant difference between the four sets for both methods (p>0.05). Therefore, it is observed that the metabolic training generates higher levels of metabolites when compared to the tensional method.
