Brief Summary

The present investigation lasted a total of 16 weeks, of which 4 were employed for assessment and measurements and 12 weeks were used for the exercise treatment. The participants underwent two different training programs carried out in three weekly 75-min sessions, on alternate days (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, in the morning). Each session of both training programs consisted of a warm-up at the beginning and general stretching at the end. The exercises used in the suspension training program were: squat, rear deltoid row, biceps curl, chest press, low row, rotational ward, split squat whit Y deltoid fly, triceps pushdown. The exercises used in the free weight training program were: squat with support, unilateral squat, hip adduction and abduction, calves, hip flexor, alternating curl, French triceps press, and high row.
