RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different information about the time of the test to be helded on specific physiological variables. Ten men cyclists (1.76 ± 0.04 m, 78.48 ± 10.40 kg and 32.5 ± 6.02 years old)was submitted to a incremental test (beginning of 100W and increased 20W.min - 1) to determine the peak power (PP) (369.84 ± 37.77 W) and maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) (51.90 ± 10.37 ml / kg / min). Moreover, there were four other protocols intermittent (4 min at 50% of the PP intervals for 1 min to 100% of PP), on different days, separated by at least 48 hours. The first protocol (P1) lasted 40 minutes, during which the volunteers were informed about the time and distance traveled only at the end of it, ie, performed the task without any knowledge about it. The second protocol (P2) had the same characteristics as P1, but the volunteers had the knowledge and could check all the information collected during the protocol. In the third protocol (P3) the volunteers were informed that should do the same in P1 and P2, but the protocol was closed for twenty minutes without any notice. In the fourth protocol (P4) the repeated efforts of 20 minutes intervals, getting the correct information on the duration of the test and were strongly advised that the duration of the protocol would not be changed. All tests were performed in cyclosimulator. The electromyographic activity (EMG) of the muscle Rectus Femoral (RF) and Vastus Lateralis (VL) and oxygen consumption (VO2) were collected during all protocols intermittent. The significance level was 5% (p ≤ 0.05). The results showed that the EMG (root mean square - RMS) of RF was lower in Q1 compared: the P3 in the minutes 9, 10, 14, 15, 19 and 20, and P4 in 9 minutes, 14, 19 and 20; and increase over the time. The median frequency (MF) of the muscle showed no differences between any protocols even in relation with the time. The VL had higher RMS in P1 compared to P2 in just 40 minutes. In contrast to the VL in FM P2 was higher than the other protocols (P1, P3 and P4) at the minute 5, minute 10 (P1 and P3), at the minute 15 (P3), and showed an increase in the time in P1 and P4. The VO2 was significantly higher when compared to P4: P2 in the minutes 5, 10 and 20, the P1 in minutes 10 and 20. Additionally P2 to P3 was higher at the minute 20, and in all protocols there was a significant increased in relation to time. From the results we conclude that the information received by volunteers has an influence at the EMG and VO2 in different ways with the change in the load.
