The Brazillian Army submits its military personnel to a Physical Assessment Test (PAT) three times a year, to check individual physical standards. The pull-up on the fixed-bar, a test of PAT, assesses the physical qualities of strength and localized muscular endurance of the upper limbs (Brasil, 1997), and it has been one of the causes of insufficiency results in PAT. The aim of this study was to compare the multiple sets method with the decreasing pyramidal sets method of neuromuscular training, specifically for the pull-up exercise. Taking part in this study were 58 male, physically active military personnel from the Reserve Officers Preparation Center of Rio de Janeiro (CPOR-RJ). A pre-test of maximum pull-up repetitions with all the sample was realized. [...]
