Effect of moderate intensity resistance training during weight loss on body composition and physical performance in overweight older adults

et al. 2010

The impact of resistance training has not been thoroughly examined in overweight older adults undergoing weight loss. Subjects (n = 27) were overweight and obese (BMI 31.7 +/- 3.6 kg/m(2)) older (age 67 +/- 4 years) adults and were randomized into either a 10-week Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension for weight loss diet (DASH, n = 12) or DASH plus moderate intensity resistance training (DASH-RT, n = 15). Outcomes included weight loss, total body and mid-thigh composition, muscle and physical function. There were no significant weight loss differences between the DASH-RT and DASH groups (-3.6 +/- 0.8 vs. -2.0 +/- 0.9%, p = 0.137). The DASH-RT group had a greater reduction in body fat than the DASH group (-4.1 +/- 0.9 vs. -0.2 +/- 1.0 kg, p = 0.005). The DASH-RT group had greater changes in lean mass (+0.8 +/- 0.4 vs. -1.4 +/- 0.4 kg, p = 0.002) and strength (+60 +/- 18 vs. -5 +/- 9 N, p = 0.008) than the DASH group. There were favorable changes in mid-thigh composition variables in the DASH-RT group that were different than the lack of changes observed in the DASH group, except for intermuscular adipose tissue. Both groups experienced decreases in 400-m walk times showed (DASH -36 +/- 11 s, DASH-RT -40 +/- 7 s) with no differences between groups. Moderate intensity resistance training during weight loss appears to improve fat mass and thigh composition, but weight loss only does not. However, global measures of physical functioning may improve with a weight loss-only program.

“…Similarly, other studies have reported the existence of significant correlations between the estimated total amount of PA obtained from the questionnaire and the results gathered from performance-based physical function tests and self-reported physical functioning 10,31 . However, no correlation was found with the level of fitness when the Chair StandTest was employed, which contradicts previous observations in institutionalized populations 32 .…”

Various studies have highlighted the benefits of physical activity (PA) performance in older adults on physical, cognitive, and functional levels 1 . For this reason, one of the main health strategies aimed at this group is the promotion of PA 2 . For this purpose, it is fundamental to ascertain efficient resources in order to pinpoint the level of PA that has been reached after a period of time. This would allow experts to determine the baseline from which an adequate prescription of PA performance could be established, as well as to identify the effects of the interventions with this objective in mind. In this regard, PA recall performance questionnaires are considered the most effective tool given their low-cost, ease of administration, and capacity for simultaneous assessment in larger samples 3 . In spite of this, research is still scarce regarding the psychometric properties of the Spanish versions of questionnaires that are specifically tailored for the assessment of PA performance in older adults [4][5][6][7] . It has been suggested that the questionnaire that was created on the basis of the study entitled "Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors," also known as CHAMPS 8 , is the most advisable resource in situations where the main goal is to estimate the prevalence of PA performance in older adults, primarily because the questionnaire features a series of psychometric properties that are suitable for this purpose 9 . However, from an epidemiological approach, the use of CHAMPS with Spanish older populations would present a number of methodological limitations since the psychometric properties of the adapted version of CHAMPS for Hispanic populations have not yet been investigated 10 . Moreover, this version was later modified to assess its applicability in Puerto Rican populations, but only its internal consistency was analyzed by testing a very small sample of older adults between the ages of 65 and 9011 . Consequently, the degree of validity of that version remains to be determined when administered to adult Spanish populations. In addition, it has been noted that CHAMPS validity behaves differently in institutionalized older adults, a group for which a very low level of affinity has been detected between the amount of PA estimated by the questionnaire and the amount registered through accelerometry 12 . Hence, this particular line of research is yet to be fully exploited.Under these circumstances, the present study investigates the validity of a Spanish adaptation of the CHAMPS questionnaire for institutionalized older adults between the ages of 74 and 90. MethodsParticipants in this study were recruited through a collaboration agreement signed between the University of "Vigo" and "Fundación San Rosendo", a company that specializes in geriatric center management. The inclusion criteria were the following: (a)being over 65 years' old; (b) residing in a geriatric center; and (c)presenting mobility autonomy, in other words, being able to move freely without the help of another person.

“…Furthermore, the PASE has been correlated with direct measures of physical activity such as portable accelerometer and doubly labelled water, the gold standard for measuring physical activity [30,31]. Although designed originally for individuals older than 65 years, the PASE was validated previously in studies of younger participants [32,33]. The PASE has also been used to assess physical activity levels in several studies of younger samples [31,[34][35][36].…”
