Turkish Olympic, National, International and Professional Weightlifters Perform Resistance Zones (Load and Repetition) on Autoregulation Resistance Training Periodization

Introduction. Muscular contraction load and repetition strategies are knowing to continuum zone repetition method (endurance 50% – hypertrophy 70% – strength – 85%) provide auto-regulated training volume, to detect muscular working load and repetition one set sections, one of muscle exercise condition. The muscle contraction potential gain is auto-regulated working principle as seperately high load low repetition and low load high repetition. Objective. The aim of this study was to detect muscular contraction performance level of weightlifters, to perform continuum zone repetition method on autoregulation resistance training periodization. Materials and methods. The weightlifters; 8 men and women, participated over short week 3 week and 2 day autoregulation resistance training periodization performed on (10RM) hypertrophy zone and (6RM) power zone in weekly day to day plan. The continuum zone repetition method measures formed one repetition maximum (1RM), 50%1RM low load – repetition, 70%1RM moderate load – repetition, and 85%1RM high load – repetition on weekly and daily non-linear muscle concentric load detection. Results. For autoregulation resistance training, one repetition maximum outcomes on countermovement jump shrug and bent-over row increased, however, isometric deadlift and overhead press was not increase significant. The load increased and repetition decreased outcomes in different muscle exercise condition. Conclusion. Muscular exercise resistance zone periodization and contraction concentric load program improve to weightlifters, however, study performed as muscular adaptation outcomes on short term autoregulation performance as loading increase and repetition decrease. The outcomes concluded to autoregulation resistance training periodization to enable maximizing muscular contraction level able increased concentric load and high exercise condition repetition set-up.
