Comparison of Strength Performance in Chest Press Players in the Chest Press and Bench Press in Those Beginning Weight Training

Abstract

Background and Aims: Training with fully mobile weights will help increase muscle strength and the flexibility of those joints at the same time. From this point on exercising with weights for muscle groups. The same muscle group uses different equipment such as exercises with barbells or dumbbells and exercises with exercise machines that work the same muscles and have similar movements. However, the range of movement in training may be different and affect the development of muscle performance. Objectives: 1. To study the strength performance of chest muscle players in the CHEST PRESS and BENCH PRESS positions in those who have started weight training. 2. To compare the strength performance of chest muscle players in the CHEST PRESS position. and BENCH PRESS in those who begin exercising with weights.

Methodology: The sample group used this time was 32 volunteers, all males. obtained from selecting the age group and readiness to participate in training and screening for health problems before participating in training. Tools used in the research: (1) a set of equipment to test 1RM in the BENCH PRESS position (2) a weight machine to test 1RM in the CHEST PRESS position (3) a beginner weight training program that divided into muscle training exercises Chest in 2 groups (4) Record sheet of chest muscle strength test results. (5) Analyze data using frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Comparisons were analyzed by finding comparative values for the Pre-Post Test with the Paired Samples Test from the SPSS program.

Results: (1) the strength performance of chest muscle players in the CHEST PRESS and BENCH PRESS positions in those who have started weight training improved after training in both positions. From the results of the 1 RM test before and after training the chest muscles in The CHEST PRESS position had a mean before training, and an average after training. The results of comparing the value of 1 RM before and after training the chest muscles with CHEST PRESS were significantly different at the .05 level. Testing 1 RM before and after training the chest muscles in BENCH PRESS had a mean before training and after training. The results when comparing the value of 1 RM before and after training the chest muscles with BENCH PRESS were significantly different at the .05 level (2). Comparison of strength. The results of the chest muscles from the 1 RM test were not different between the groups that trained the chest muscles in the CHEST PRESS position and the BENCH PRESS position with the regular exercise program.

Conclusion: Training the chest muscles in the CHEST PRESS and BENCH PRESS positions by adding weight resulted in an increase in strength according to the 1 RM test results in both the CHEST PRESS and BENCH PRESS, with the difference being statistically significant at the .05 level. Comparing the strength of the chest muscles between the groups training in the CHEST PRESS and BENCH PRESS positions together with the normal exercise program was not statistically different at the .05 level.
