A relação entre o treinamento de força e a flexibilidade

Abstract

Introduction: Strength work is associated with muscle stiffness, many think that strength training will lead to a decrease in the level of flexibility. In addition, in gyms, there is a great lack of interest in stretching and flexion exercises by strength training practitioners, as they believe that this can alter the production of maximum strength. Objective: The research aims to identify and analyze the relationship between strength training and flexibility. Methodology: Bibliographic review linked to the research line Sports and Health Sciences, where the main source of material was Google Scholar and Scielo. Results: When analyzing the authors, a heterogeneous group is observed, where a greater number of results was sought, seeking a greater range of articles, not being restricted to a specific group. In total, 5 articles were selected after filtering, Salvador et al. (2010); Cyrino et al. (2005); Moura (2018); Uzunian et al. (2018); Correia et al. (2014); prove the positive relationship between strength training and flexibility, showing that strength training acts positively in the levels of flexibility. Final considerations: Strength training has a positive relationship with flexibility, since it contributes to an often significant increase in this physical valence. However, this does not exclude the need for further studies related to this topic, including other methodologies, in order to expand knowledge, serving as a basis for professionals in the field and practitioners of this modality.
