Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of resistance training on sarcopenic obesity in older women.

Conditions

Sarcopenia; Aging; Obesity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Laboratorial Body Composition assessment (DXA)

  DXA-derived body fat and DXA-derived fat free mass

  30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Isokinetic peak torque of leg extension (dynamometer isokinetic)

  20 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

These participants will be instructed to maintain their habits during 24 weeks. Before and after the aforementioned period, they will be asked to perform body composition and strength assessments, using DXA and isokinetic dynamometer, respectively.

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants from the experimental group will assign to the resistance training program undergo physician screening at rest and under cardiopulmonary exercise test conditions before starting the program. Following a three-week familiarization process, participants undergo one repetition maximum (1-RM) testing for each of the exercises of the training program. This procedure intended to determine exercise load and will be systematically repeated in four-week intervals. Volunteers will train thrice per week during 24 weeks. The training program will involve the following exercises: chest press, lat pulldown, knee extension, hamstrings curl, leg press, hip abduction.

Behavioral: Resistance Training

Interventions
