Resumen

The present study intends to investigate which type of programming is most effective for improving strength and
body composition in untrained young men. A total of 41 men participated (22.5 ± 2.8 years old, 75.6 ± 5.5 kg, 175.3 ± 8.4
cm, 24.6 ± 1.8 kg · m-2) which were divided into two groups; Traditional periodization and Undulating periodization. A
program of eight weeks of training including back and chest exercises were applied twice a week for the two groups. Both
fat mass and fat-free mass were measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, as well as the maximum repetition
(RM) of the bench press and row by measuring the speed of execution with a linear encoder and the resting heart rate
before and after the program. Data were analyzed using magnitude-based inference. Changes in athletes’ scores were assessed by using effect sizes and 90% confidence intervals. The differences within the group in pre-training and post-training were evaluated using the standardized effect size. Improvements in 1RM row, resting heart rate and fat-free mass were observed not possible to determine which training periodization produces greater adaptations in both groups with a possible and probable inference.
