- Abstract
Controlled cross-sectional analytical study unpaired that featured 14 male participants, selected by aged between 20 and 25 years, practitioners of resistance exercise, divided into two unpaired groups: one group without intervention by acupuncture (GC) and the other group with intervention acupuncture (GE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acupuncture on muscular endurance of upper limbs and the handgrip strength in practitioners of resistance exercise. With respect to muscular endurance, the results indicate an increase in the number of repetitions for the two groups, but not statistically significant and to grip strength, increase and decrease in GE and GC respectively, also not statistically significant. It is concluded that acupuncture in this study did not prove to be effective to increase the yield of the subjects in the muscular endurance test and grip strength.
