Resistance of mature and elderly bodybuilders to anaerobic energy supply load.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to assess the resistance level of beginner bodybuilders of mature and elderly age to strength training performed under anaerobic energy supply modes (creatine phosphokinase and glycolysis).

Methods

The study involved 60 men who had been engaged in bodybuilding for only 12 months. Group A included men aged 24 ± 1.5 years (early mature age), group B consisted of men aged 40 ± 2.1 years (late mature age), and group C comprised men aged 58 ± 1.6 years (elderly). An integral method of quantitative assessment of power loads was used to determine 1 repetitions maximum (RM) and load parameters for each anaerobic energy supply mode. Resistance levels were evaluated based on adaptive-compensatory responses to training stimuli, using heart rate variability (H
