Notes: Sumario: This study examined the effects of four flexibility and strength-flexibility training protocols on the dynamic strength, endurance time, and truncal operations. Significant improvement in physical capacity was obtained through flexibility training either by a progressive increase in the holding time with fixed exercise repetition or a progressive increase repetition with fixed holding time. The flexibility and strength-flexibility training protocols exhibited similar effects on physical capacity. It was suggested that a follow-up flexibility protocol should be performed on a daily basis in order to maintain the gains obtained in flexibility during the intensive-short training programeRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 35, nº 9, September 1992 ; p. 1103-1117Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Biomecánica Lesiones musculares Fuerza muscular Carga de materiales Ejercicio físico Riesgo laboral Formación Protocolo Otros autores: Guo, L.
