EFFECTS OF RESISTANCE TRAINING IN ELDERLY

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Aging Disorder
• Interventions: Other: Resistance training group

• Registration Number: NCT03320005
• Lead Sponsor: Daysi Tobelem

Brief Summary

This comes from a non-randomized clinical trial, which aims to check on elderly women the effects of a program of resistance training (TR) in physical performance, in respiratory functional capacity, on health and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Will be measured the strength of the respiratory muscles (Mip and Mep), peak expiratory flow (Peak-Flow), thoracic movements and abdominal movements, distance traveled in Incremental Shuttle Walk Test, grip strength manual, pulmonary leukocytes, biochemical parameters and indicators of quality of life and physical activity through the WHOQOL-old and IPAQ-short. The data will be tested against the distribution of the Gauss curve, by the shapiro-wilk test and, if they have a normal distribution (parametric) are expressed as mean and standard deviation, if not submit normal (non parametric) distribution will be expressed as median or range interquartílico. The first chance to compare the evolution of the group studied, will be applied to two-way ANOVA. If the distribution is abnormal, it will apply Mann-Whitney test. The multiple regression test will be used to compare the Mip and Mep with variables with the Peak-Flow, Thoracoabdominal mobility, distance traveled, immune competence, physical fitness and quality of life in the groups studied.
