Estratégias do uso do alongamento muscular para praticantes de treinamento resistido: uma revisão da literatura. 2016. 32f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Educação Física )- Departamento de Educação Física, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/47943This study aimed to verify through a literature search, the need or not, performing muscle stretching to strength training practitioners in your workout routine, because there is still doubt as to its practitioners that stretching can compromise the gain in muscle hypertrophy, leading even some not to use. We conducted literature search in the Scielo databases; Lilacs and Pubmed; the most recent publications (2013-2016). The muscle stretching are exercises aimed at increasing muscle flexibility, which promotes the stretching of the muscle fibers, causing them to increase their length, the more elongated a muscle, the greater the joint motion commanded by this muscle and therefore greater flexibility. At the end of the study it can be concluded that stretching performed intensely before resistance training can have a negative influence on the result of maximum force practitioner. However, there needs to be a strategy in achieving the muscle stretching for the practitioners of the sport, once and flexibility is an important physical capacity for general physical fitness of individuals.openAccessAn error occurred getting the license - uri.Alongamento.
