ABSTRACT

Brown A, Vianna J, Dias I, Miranda H, Rodrigues Neto G, Novaes J. Acute Joint Range Effects of Exercises at Different Strength Intensities on Unstable and Stable Platforms. JEPonline 2014;17(6): 74-80. The purpose of the study was to compare the joint range effects of bench press (BP) exercises at different strength intensities when using an unstable platform (UP) and a stable platform (SP). Twenty-six men performed BP tests at 60% and 80% of 1RM using an UP and a SP. Joint amplitude was significantly higher at 80% of 1RM than at 60% of 1RM on both platforms when measuring flexion (P ................
