Resumo

Nordic walking (NW) es una forma de ejercicio saludable. Hasta ahora pocos estudios han empleado poblaciones no clínicas y han analizado la respuesta muscular tras el entrenamiento de NW. Este estudio pretendió evaluar cambios mecánicos y neuromusculares en los músculos deltoideusy triceps brachiitras un entrenamiento breve de NW. Veinticuatro mujeres sanas y físicamente activias fueron asignadas aleatoriamente al grupo de NW (n=12) o al grupo control (n=12). El entrenamiento se llevó a cabo durante un periodo de 6 semanas (18 sesiones) en un tapiz rodante (4.5 km/; 2% pendiente). La respuesta mecánica y neuromuscular fue medida antes y después del entrenamiento. Se empleó Tensiomiografía para evaluar el desplazamiento radial máximo, tiempo de contracción, tiempo de retardo, tiempo de espera y tiempo medio de relajación deldeltoideusy triceps brachii. La intensidad del entrenamiento se controló a través de la frecuencia cardíaca (FC) y la tasa de esfuerzo percibido (TEP). Se empleó análisis factorial de la varianza (ANOVA mixto) para detectar cambios en las características mecánicas y neuromusculares tras el entrenamiento de NW. Durante el entrenamiento de NW, se registró una FC (115.83 ppm), un porcentaja de la FC de reserva (37%) y una tasa de esfuerzo percibido (10.25) correspondiente a un nivel ligero de intensidad. Tras el período de entrenamiento, sólo se registró un incremento moderado en el tiempo de retardo (6.25%, p =0.02; η2=0.06) para el triceps brachii. Un entrenamiento de NW breve de entre baja y moderada intensidad con una técnica específica no ha sido suficiente como para modificar la respuesta mecánica y neuromuscular del tricepsbrachii ydeltoideus en mujeres jóvenes sanas.
