Abstract

Human Movement and Sports Science

resistance training

range of motion

articular

muscle stretching exercises

The aim of this study was to identify factors that influence the effects of strength training on young adults and elderly flexibility. Systematic review of original scientific articles indexed in the electronic databases MEDLINE®, LILACS®, SCIELO®, Web of Knowledge® SCOPUSâ„¢, by the year 2012, was performed. There were selected studies that included terms in the title and keywords related to flexibility and strength training. Sixteen articles were included in the review. Of the five studies with the elderly population, all reported increased flexibility after strength training, regardless of the protocol and the method / instrument used. In young adults, seven studies observed increases in flexibility following strength training in at least one articulation, while four studies have not found any alteration. It was not possible to identify characteristics in the sample or in the training protocols that could differentiate the studies that observed significant and no significant effects of training on flexibility. However, all studies using goniometer or fleximeter reported increased flexibility in at least one articulation. In conclusion, strength training increases flexibility of elderly individuals, whereas in young adults, increases in flexibility due to strength training are controversial.
