Abstract

Objective: The research presented below aimed to compare the rate of relative strength (RSR) and other strength indicators among young women. Methods: 146 women were evaluated. They were distributed in three groups according to the results of the RSR obtained in the squat exercise. The results obtained in the tests of prehensile strength of the right and left hand (PSRH-PSLH), Isometric strength lower limbs (ISLL), maximum chest strength (MCS), maximum squat strength (MSS), velocity over thirty meters (V30), jump height in (CMJ), pedaling power (PP) and mean propulsive velocity of upper and lower limbs (MPVUL-MPVLL) obtained at 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% of a maximum squat repetition were compared. Results: Significant differences (p≤0.01) were observed between the groups in the MCS, CMJ, V30, MPV and PP, and most of the variables presented the difference between G1 and G3 (p≤0.01).
