Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected to find an increase in maximal upper limb isometric strength, lower limb dynamic strength and submaximal upper and lower limb strength in the elderly women who performed weekly strength-increased strength training, verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in comparisons in pre- and post-intervention measurements performed within and between groups.;It is expected to find increased muscle and brain electrical activities in elderly women who performed strength training with weekly increased load, verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in comparisons in pre and postoperative measurements. postintervention performed intragroups and intergroups.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected to find improvement in hemodynamic control in elderly women submitted to strength training with weekly increased load verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in the comparisons in the pre and post-intervention intra-group measurements. and intergroups.;It is expected to find a reduction in body fat levels in elderly women undergoing strength training with weekly increased load verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in comparisons in pre and post-intervention measurements. performed intragroups and intergroups.;It is expected to find a decrease in complaints of late muscular pain in elderly women submitted to strength training with weekly increased load verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in the comparisons in the pre and post measurements. intervention performed intragroups and intergroups.
