Indicators of strength, oxidative stress, and muscle damage in Paralympic powerlifting athletes undergoing variable resistance training
Abstract Introduction Variable resistance strength training (VRT) has been gaining notoriety in the physical preparation of Paralympic Powerlifting (PP) athletes. PP is a strength sport and training tends to increase levels of Oxidative Stress (OS) and Muscle Damage (MD). Objectives This study aimed to analyze the use of chains as a training method with variable resistance (TRV) and the traditional method with invariable resistance (TRAD) on peak torque (PT), rate of torque development (RTD), biomarkers of oxidativ …
