Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of exercise order on maximum strength development in resistance trainings. Thirty six male wrestlers (age = 21.6 ± 2.0 years; height = 169.8 ± 8.7 cm; body mass = 76.6 ± 11.1 kg) participated in the study. The participants performed two different resistance training programs for 12 weeks. First group (Gr1) performed the exercises involving large muscle groups at initial. The other group (Gr2) performed the same exercises in the opposite order. For the Gr1, the exercise order was bench press (BP), lat pulldown (LPD), shoulder press (SP), biceps curl (BC), triceps extension (TE). For the Gr2, the exercise order was TE, BC, SP, LPD and BP. Before and after the 12-week training period, 1 repeat maximum (1RM) loads were measured in all exercises. According to the results, 1RM loads of all exercises increased significantly in both groups
