Abstract

Introduction: The present article is of observations concerning the influence of muscle stretching, with regard to the performance of maximum strength, notwithstanding the benefits related to muscular performance and the prevention of lesions of the individual. Objective: The study aims to rethinkthe stretch in the case of amount of force driven by the individual and their performance, taking into account various factors that may clarify the controversies present in different surveys. Materials and Methods: We conducted a test of one repetition maximum (1RM) in 21 male volunteers with a mean age of 23.04 years (± 3.5), body mass of 76.35 kg (± 13.9) and height of 175 cm (± 6.0) engaged in resistance exercise. As a tool to indicate the measurement of the maximum force with and without stretching in order to better observe the satisfactory performance training. Results: The study results showed that the majority of identified individuals could achieve a higher performance of maximal voluntary strength when strength testing was preceded heating only with the presence of a statistically significant difference (p <0.05). Discussion: Similar results were found from the application of knowledge of other scholars confirmed that the use of stretching before activities that require maximum force can be harmed when we analyze the performance factor (Shrier, 2004). Conclusion: There was a contraindication of stretching exercises before the test repetition maximum because there is reduction in their performances.
