The number of adherents to strength training has been growing lately, for a variety of
reasons, whether aesthetic or health reasons. The way in which to prescribe this training will
reveal the methodological variables that will be approached in question, be they volume,
intensity, cadence, number of repetitions. However, one element that should also be
considered is verbal encouragement. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect
of verbal encouragement through the tests of a maximal repetition (1RM), the number of
maximal repetitions with 70% 1RM, also in SR and LP and the recovery of individuals. Ten
men aged 18 to 30 years participated in this study. It was applied in this study for the
assessment of upper limb potency, medicine ball throwing for lower limbs, three types of
jumps, with the aid of Jump System 1.0 software, 1RM tests, counting of the maximum
number of repetitions, borg and visual analogue scale to define the recovery of individuals.
The results showed little static expressiveness in the influence of verbal encouragement
during the proposed tests. Verbal encouragement did not significantly influence the results.
