Summary

To compare the acute effects of traditional and drop set training methods on fatigue levels and proprioceptive sensory mechanisms in bodybuilding athletes.

Conditions

  • Fatigue Intensity
  • Proprioception

Interventions

OTHER

Proprioception Measurements

Laser cursor-assisted angle repetition test was used for proprioception assessment. A coordinate plane with different movement angles was fixed on a wall and the person was positioned 1 meter from this wall. The laser pointer was fixed on the person's arm for shoulder proprioception measurement, 5 cm above the elbow to avoid being affected by other joints, 5 cm above the person's wrist for elbow joint proprioception and fixed on the person's second metatarsal bone for wrist proprioception.

OTHER

Fatigue Measurement

Myoton PRO® (Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia) muscle palpation device was used to assess fatigue, and the dynamic stiffness parameter was taken as the basis. The stiffness value is calculated as the maximum acceleration (N/m) of oscillation and deformation in the tissue sensed by the transducer (Chen et al., 2017). The increase in muscle dynamic stiffness has been associated with fatigue level (Klich et al., 2019; Shitova et al., 2020; Wang, 2017). Before the measurement, the athletes' pectoralis major, deltoideus and triceps brachii muscle reference points were determined and marked, and measurements were taken over these points. The athletes were asked to keep their muscles relaxed throughout the measurement in order not to affect the tissue stiffness and the application was performed at room temperature.
