VANNI, O.; TIBANA, R. A.; AGUIAR, F.; NASCIMENTO, D. C.; SANTANA, F. S.; BALSAMO, S. Effect of different exercise orders on strength, number of repetitions, total training volume, perceived exertion and blood lactate in untrained men. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity. v. 5, n. 4, p. 221-229, 2011. The aim of this study was to observe the effect of different orders of resistance exercises for upper limbs in lactatemia [LAC], total volume (VT) and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). The sample consisted of nine men untrained in Strength Training (ST) (age: 24.22 ± 2.44 years, body mass: 70.94 ± 7.99 kg; height: 1.73 ± 0.05 m). The protocol consisted of five sessions separated by at least 48 hours. Day 1 - presentation of research. Days 2 and 3 - test and re-test load corresponding of 10 repetitions maximum (10RM). Days 4 and 5 - implementation of randomized training protocols characterized by two inverted order with respect to the size of the muscle group. Consisting of three sets and the maximum repetitions to the load of 10RM and two minutes recovery between sets and exercises. GP - rowing machine (RM), bench press with long bar (BP), biceps against the wall with straight bar (RB) and triceps pushdowns (TP), PG - TP, RB, SH and RMQ. The one-way ANOVA showed significant difference between sets and exercises for the two orders, the first exercises could perform a greater number of repetitions, corroborating previous studies. The results showed that the RPE and [LAC] suffered no differences between the orders. Regarding the performance of the orders there were no significant differences. We conclude that the results provide important tools for the preparation of resistance training in relation to the positioning of the exercises.
