RESUMOO presente estudo objetivou analisar os efeitos do treinamento funcional com cargas (TFC) na composição corporal de mulheres fisicamente inativas. Vinte mulheres (25.70 ± 4.20 anos) foram designadas aleatoriamente para os grupos experimental (GE, n = 10) e controle (GC, n = 10), tendo o GE realizado 12 semanas de TFC, enquanto o GC não recebeu qualquer intervenção. As variáveis antropométricas avaliadas em ambos os grupos foram: massa corporal (MC), estatura, índice de massa corporal (IMC), massa de gordura absoluta, massa corporal magra (MCM) e percentual de gordura (%G). Os testes t de Student independente e pareado foram utilizados para a comparação das médias inter e intra-grupos experimental e controle (p < .05). O GE apresentou reduções significativas nos valores de %G (p < .001), enquanto o GC aumentou seus níveis de MCM (p < .001), IMC (p < .001) e MC (p = .021). Os resultados indicaram que após de 12 semanas o TFC reduz os níveis de gordura corporal, mas não promove aumentos de MCM em mulheres fisicamente inativas.

Twenty women aged between 19 and 34 years old (25.70 ± 4.20 yr.) were randomly assigned to experimental (EG, n = 10) and control group (CG, n = 10). The EG performed 12 weeks of FST, while CG did not receive any intervention. The anthropometric variables evaluated in both groups were: body mass (BM), height, body mass index (BMI), absolute fat mass (AFM), lean body mass (LBM) and fat percent (%F). The paired and independent samples t tests were used to identify modifications between and within experimental and control groups (p < .05). The EG decreased %F values (p < .001), while CG increased the LBM (p < .001), BMI (p < .001) and BM (p = .021). Results showed that after 12 weeks FST can be useful to reduce body fat mass, but it doesn't promote increases on LBM of physically inactive women.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
