Interventions
Muscle strengh training
Strength training lasts six weeks, during which submaximal strength percentages ranging from 75% to 90% are worked on. It is performed three times a week and follows a protocol consisting of progressive exercises for the large functional muscle groups relevant to the population being trained.
Resistence training
Resistance training will be carried out for 6 weeks, 3 times a week, with exercises prescribed by a protocol with training characteristics defined by bibliography found in the ACSM.
