title: [Intraocular pressure variation after submaximal strength test in resistance training].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To verify the intraocular pressure (IOP) after sub-maximal strength test.
  
  
  METHODS
  145 Physical Education freshmen (22.04 +/- 4.17 years old; female and male) from Superior Physical Education School of Jundiaí (ESEFJ) were evaluated in an observacional study. The exclusion criteria were: media opacity and eyeball absence or changes. All subjects agreed to take part in this research and signed up the Informed Consent. IOP was measured by Perkins tonometer: i) pretest: just before the submaximal strength test performance and ii) post-test: immediately after the strength test. The strength test consisted in the one-repetition-maximum-assessment through repetition until fatigue. Resistance training exercises such as bench press, pulley dorsal high, shoulder press, arm curl and leg press 45 masculine were performed. Statistical analyses were obtained through paired Student's 't' test.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Decrease of IOP was observed after the strength test: 13.48 +/- 3.32 vs.10.20 +/- 3.72 (p<0.001) in the right eye and 13.13 +/- 3.96 vs.9.74 +/- 3.33 (p<0.001) in the left eye.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  IOP showed relevant decrease after submaximal strength test performance in college students.
