Prediction of the incline bench press through the horizontal bench press
Abstract
Introduction: Muscular strength is important for maintaining and promoting the health of the population, in addition to being essential in the sports field, in this way strength training (ST) has been shown to be an important tool for increasing strength and muscle mass. However, for a safer and more efficient prescription, the training load should be prescribed in percentages of the load of a maximum repetition (1MR), so it is essential to perform 1MR tests periodically to correct the training load. Thus, creating methods that facilitate or accelerate the process of load evaluation for 1MR is important for practitioners working with ST. Objective: To perform statistical regression between the horizontal bench press and the inclined bench press, creating a formula to facilitate the methodology in the prescription of strength training. Methods: The sample consisted of 23 male subjects with a minimum of six months of ST. They randomly performed the 1MR test on the above-mentioned devices, respecting the time interval of five minutes between one trial and another. Results: There was a strong correlation (r = 0.93), indicating that the load achieved in one appliance is related to the other. A statistical regression was performed, in which the following formula was obtained: y = 0.6944x + 18.389, where y will be the incline bench press and x the horizontal bench press. Conclusion: It is possible to estimate the load of the incline supine by the bench press test.
