TREINAMENTO DE FORÇA ISOMÉTRICO PARA O DESEMPENHO ATLÉTICO

Abstract

The sports scene is inherently complex, requiring a balance between the physical demands of the sport and the individual needs of athletes. Sports training, based on scientific principles, aims to optimize performance through functional and morphological adaptations. This study reviews the literature on isometric strength training, highlighting its effectiveness and applicability. The research demonstrates that isometric training, characterized by the absence of joint movement, offers substantial benefits, including increased maximum strength, muscle hypertrophy, and energy economy, making it relevant for both physical preparation and athlete rehabilitation. Additionally, isometric training proves particularly effective in sports that require specific strength and power. This paper concludes that integrating isometric strength training into elite athlete training programs can represent a significant differential, promoting performance improvements with low muscle fatigue levels, depending on the training variables applied.
