The aim of this study was to know the adjustments in corporalcomposition, maximum force and muscular local resistance of a program of training of force in intermittent circuit with overcharges. Method: Eight young males trained in resistance (24,07 ± 3,12 years, 77,96 +7,5 kg, 173 ± 0,2 cm and 14,50 ± 2,00months of experience) were selected. All the subjects signed an assent in writing of participation in the same one. Characteristic anthropometric, 10 tests of 1RM and one test of muscular local resistance was realized. Later, there was carried out a program of resistance training of 8 weeks of duration by the characteristic of being in intermittent circuit with overcharges, 3 times per week, between 62%-72 % of 1RM. A final valuation with the same characteristics of the initial valuation was realized. Results: The results showed a decrease in the percentages of corporal fat of 9,46%, improvements in maximumstrength about 3%-31% and an increase in the muscular localresistance of 1,42%. Conclusions: The training in intermittent circuit with overcharges after 8 weeks of duration offers adjustments to level of corporal composition, of maximum strength and muscular local resistance for trained subjects.
