“…Twenty one articles were excluded from the study, mainly due to inadequate exposure during the intervention, meaning that methods other than RT were incorporated in the study, or ineligible outcomes were detected which did not fit the inclusion criteria of the review. Finally, 26 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study [ 9 , 31 – 55 ]. Amongst included studies, the average number of participants per study was 23 while the mean duration of the studies was 16 weeks.…”

“…In regards to the measured outcomes, of the 26 articles included in the study, eighteen articles used DXA scanners [ 33 , 34 , 36 , 38 – 46 , 48 – 50 , 52 , 54 ] to determine whether muscle hypertrophy was evident or not after the intervention, four articles used a BIA [ 35 , 51 , 53 , 55 ], two articles used MRI [ 9 , 31 ] scans and two articles used USI [ 32 , 37 ]. It is important to note that these screening tools were used to measure different regions of the body which had been exposed to the RT.…”

“…Of the different body regions exposed to RT, 23 studies implemented full-body RT [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55], and 3 implemented lower body RT [9, 31,42]. Thus, only the areas of the body which underwent the RT intervention have been examined by the afore mentioned screening tools.…”

The effect of resistance training programs on lean body mass in postmenopausal and elderly women: a meta-analysis of observational studies

et al. 2021

Aging and menopause are associated with morphological and functional changes which may lead to loss of muscle mass and therefore quality of life. Resistance training (RT) is an effective training mode to increase muscle mass. We reviewed the existing literature to identify studies implementing RT protocols and evaluating muscle hypertrophy exclusively in healthy, postmenopausal and elderly women. Participants’ age range was comprised between 50 and 80 years. The primary outcome observed was muscle hypertrophy. Fat mass was also evaluated, if available. PubMed and Web of Science were the screened database, and original articles written in English and published from 2000 up to 2020 were included. 26 articles were considered eligible and included. Quality assessment revealed a “moderate quality” of the included studies, however the majority of studies was able to reach level 4 of evidence and on overall grade of recommendation C. In total, data from 745 female participants subjected to different forms of resistance training were considered. Heterogeneity across studies was present regarding study design, intervention length (mean 16 weeks), training frequency (3 d/w), no. of exercises (n = 7.4) and participants’ age (65.8 ± 4.9 years). Small-to-moderate significant increases (k = 43; SMD = 0.44; 95% CI 0.28; 0.60; p < 0.0001) of lean body mass were observed in post-menopausal and elderly women, regardless of age, intervention period, weekly training frequency and no. of exercises. No effects were noted for fat mass (k = 17; SMD = 0.27; 95% CI − 0.02; 0.55; p = 0.07). Studies need to concentrate on providing information regarding training parameters to more effectively counteract the effects of aging and menopause on skeletal muscle mass.

“…The resistance training protocol [ 15 ] consisted of running leg press at 180°, seated row, leg curl, bench press, abductor machine, push-down, adductor machine, and biceps curl, alternated with a segment of 3 sets of 8 repetitions maximum performed with a rest interval of 1-min between sets. In this sense, the load enabled the attainment of a specified number of repetitions per set until reaching concentric fatigue.…”

“…Additionally, some studies have found positive effects of resistance training on bone mineral density, muscle mass, and body fat of elderly women [ 15 , 16 , 21 ]. Moreover, other investigations have demonstrated positive effects of aerobic training on autonomic parameters and hemodynamic profile of older women [ 22 – 24 ].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a novel combined training protocol on sleep quality and body composition of healthy elderly women. The study sample consisted of 8 sedentary elderly individuals with mean (±SD) of 67 (±8) years of age, 96.0 (±7.8) mg/dL fasting blood glucose, 94.4 (±36.1) mg/dL triglycerides, 179.1 (±22.4) mg/dL total cholesterol, 57.2 (±15.7) mg/dL high-density lipoprotein (HDL), 103.1 (±25.2) mg/dL low-density lipoprotein (LDL), 125.3 (±8.4) mmHg systolic blood pressure, and 72.6 (±10.1) mmHg diastolic blood pressure. The training protocol consisted of resistance training exercises (approximately 18-minute duration) combined with aerobic exercises (approximately 26-minute duration), performed interspersed in the same session, for 8 weeks (3 times a week), with a 24-hour interval rest between each session. Continuous variables were expressed as the mean (±standard deviation) and the paired sample t-test compares baseline with final measurement. The results showed a significant improvement (p = 0.01) in quality of sleep (4.9 ± 1.5 versus 3.8 ± 1.8 for total PSQI index) without body significant improvements in the fat-free mass (59.9 ± 4.0 versus 60.5 ± 4.4; p = 0.20) and fat mass (40.1 ± 4.0 versus 39.5 ± 4.4; p = 0.20) in healthy elderly women. In this sense, the novel combined training proposed may be an effective alternative or adjunct to present therapies aimed at improving the sleep quality in this population.
