The effects of one period strength training with two loading patterns (double-pyramid & flat pyramid) on muscle strength, endurance, hypertrophy and anaerobic power in judo young athletes

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of one Period strength training with two loading patterns (double-pyramid & flat pyramid) were employed to study their effects on selected on muscle strength، endurance، hypertrophy and anaerobic power of young judos. For this purpose، 24 judos volunteered to participate. Subjects (age 19. 03± 1. 54 years; height 177. 24± 4. 14 cm; weight 71. 73±10. 60 Kg and BF% 13. 60±6. 04) had a history of at least 6 months of judos training. The subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups; a control group (n=8)، and two resistance training groups: a group using the DP loading pattern (n=8); and a group using the FP loading pattern (n=8). The subjects trained for 8 weeks using two selected loading patterns. After assurance the normal data distribution (Kolmogorov– Smirnov test)، One way analysis of variance for، Tukey''s post-hoc test showed muscular endurance and strength، hypertrophy and anaerobic power did not indicate any significant differences between the two training groups; however، this difference was significant for the control group (P<0·05). In conclusion، it seems that both training models were suitable for increasing strength، endurance، hypertrophy and anaerobic power in young judo.
