The effect of a neuromuscular endurance program compared to competitive sport once a week

Abstract

Performing competitive sport once a week without being in appropriate neuromuscular conditions it could cause enormous negative alter/functional transformations in the organism, especially in individuals who have passed the barrier of the 40 years, however undergoing a submaximal strength training program made by a physical activity professional develops enormous neuromuscular gains in subjects who undergo their practice regularly. In order to demonstrate that the practice of competitive sport once a week does not produce muscle tissue gain, an experiment was carried out at the Diego Portales University, in 2016, in Santiago de Chile, where 2 homogeneous groups were shaped with males from 40 to 50 years of age, one who played competitive baby football once a week and another who underwent a submaximal strength program developed by the researcher of the experiment based methodologically of Brown (2008), in a period of six months, three times a week, with an hour duration, which showed categorically that doing competitive sport once a week does not produce any neuromuscular benefit, instead undergoing a program developed by a physical activity professional, in this case the researcher, does produce truly significant changes for the health of muscle tissue.
