“…It was hypothesized that the muscular strength in RT group of participants using FW only would improve significantly more than in their counterparts using M only during the 10-week RT program since more muscle fibers and synergistic muscles are activated to maintain postural balance and stabilization during the FW exercises [7][8][9]. This statement was previously confirmed by the study of Schott et al (2019) conducted in older adults (>60 years old, mixed gender) based on more pronounced relative strength increases in some muscle groups, but not all, after 26 weeks from baseline when using FW for RT (i.e., 50% in leg press versus up to 120% in squat) versus when using M [10]. However, people at a more advanced age may initially feel uncertain when performing unfamiliar exercises that challenge their postural stability, possibly resulting in an underestimation of strength at baseline when being tested with FW.…”

“…For example, unstable squats result in higher EMG activity in synergistic muscles [7], and EMG activity is also found to be higher in the medial deltoid muscle during a free weight bench press as compared to the more stable Smith or chest press machine alternative [8,9]. In addition, a recent study by Schott et al (2019) observed that the relative increase in exercise load from baseline was higher in older adults training with free weights as compared to those using the machine alternative, but only for the triceps brachialis and knee and hip extensor muscles [10]. Also, Rossi et al (2018) concluded that free weight squat training elicited better strength outcomes than training with the leg press machine, whilst balance improved equally regardless of the exercise used [11].…”

“…Os benefícios à saúde ocorrem mesmo quando a prática de atividade física é iniciada em uma fase tardia da vida, sendo vantajosa inclusive para portadores de doenças crônicas, prevenindo principalmente as doenças associadas ao sedentarismo, como coronariopatias, diabetes mellitus, hipertensão arterial, hipercolesterolemia, acidente vascular cerebral, osteoporose, osteoartrite, câncer de próstata, mama e cólon intestinal (SCHOTT; JOHNEN; HOLFELDER, 2019;SATHANANTHAN et al, 2019).…”

“…Dieses Ergebnis ist hocherwünscht, nicht nur wegen des wesentlich geringeren materiellen Aufwands. Auch der Aspekt, dass ein Training mit Handgeräten günstiger ist für die Funktion [47] und Kraft der Beinstrecker [48] ▶Tab. 3 'Risk of bias' der eingeschlossenen Untersuchung gemäß PEDro-Score [11,12].…”
