- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluate maximum strength, using the 1-repetition maximum test method on the legpress 45º device, through changes in the maximum weight (kilograms) carried by the participants;To evaluate body composition, using the BodPod method, through changes in the parameters of body weight (kilograms), lean mass weight (kilograms and percentage) and fat mass weight (kilograms and percentage);To evaluate the area of ??the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis muscles, using the ultrasonography method, through the increase in muscle area in cm²
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate the incorporation of omega 3 fatty acids in blood and skeletal muscle cells, using the lipidomic analysis method, through the identification and quantification of lipid molecular species;To evaluate the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers, using the immunofluorescence method, through quantification in µm²;To evaluate the activation of protein synthesis pathways (mTOR and p70s6k), using the western blotting method, through the amount of phosphorylated proteins in response to physical exercise
