Efeito de um programa de treinamento funcional de curta duração sobre a composição corporal de mulheres na pós-menopausa

Abstract

Functional training in circuit format can be used as a strategy to alter body composition in postmenopausal women, particularly in terms of reduction of adipose tissue. This is a model that promotes high adhesion on the part of the participants, suggesting that it is an attractive proposal for the investigated age group.

Functional training in postmenopause: Cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory parameters, a randomized trial

“…In this context, physical exercise is a potent tool for health promotion and disease prevention; and the different types of training can be beneficial for menopausal women, such as aerobic training, resistance training combined training and, recently popular in the fitness industry, functional training …”

“…7 In this context, physical exercise is a potent tool for health promotion and disease prevention; 8 and the different types of training can be beneficial for menopausal women, such as aerobic training, 5 resistance training 9,10 combined training 7,11 and, recently popular in the fitness industry, 12 functional training. 13,14 Functional training has been prepared from the imitation of everyday gestures and activities (e.g. bathing, preparing meals, climbing stairs), 15 and it is based on carrying out exercises aimed at improving control, stability and motor coordination.…”

Training with elastic and conventional devices on body composition: systematic review and meta-analysis

“…This variable has been investigated in studies comparing elastic devices with conventional ones for resistance exercise [16,19], with results showing changes related to decreased fat mass and increased lean mass. A study by Neves et al [25] found that reducing fat mass was responsible for improving functional mobility, agility and motor coordination.…”

Effectiveness of functional training on cardiorespiratory parameters: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…In the current review, we defined functional training programmes as any exercise using specific movements of daily life (Tomljanovic 0 et al, 2011;Pacheco et al, 2013;Rezende Barbosa et al, 2016b). It included balancing, coordinating and core exercises (Kibele & Behm, 2009;Behm et al, 2010;Tomljanovic 0 et al, 2011;Pereira et al, 2012;Neves et al, 2014;Rezende Barbosa et al, 2016b). We also assumed as a control condition any other intervention or absence of intervention as an object of comparison to functional training.…”
