| Abstract | ||||
| The purpose of this study was to compare the strength gains after 13 weeks of daily undulating periodization (DUP) and weekly undulating periodization (WUP) resistance training program with equated volume and intensity for volleyball players. Eleven volleyball players of Tanta club with minimum 1-year strength training experience participated in current study. All subjects have underwent to both DUP and WUP resistance training program in the same time, using the method of unilateral limb training; one side of the body (i.e. arm and leg) used DUP and the other side used WUP for 4 sessions/ week in non-consecutive days using split routine. One repetition maximum (1RM) was measured during 6 exercises before training program (PRE) and in the 7th week of training (MID) and at the end of the 13-week training (POST). The results have shown statistically significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) in all exercises at MID and POST compared with PRE, and at POST compared with MID for both DUP and WUP models, statistically significant differences favor WUP (p ≤ 0.05) at POST for 2 exercises in comparison with the DUP. No statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) between DUP and WUP in muscular strength at MID and POST for 4 exercises, however the WUP model shown a higher percentage increase in muscular strength than DUP for these 4 exercises. In conclusion, both DUP and WUP periodized training programs made similar strength gains from baseline to week 6. However, between week 8 and week 13, the WUP model outperformed the DUP model making larger improvements in muscular strength. | ||||
