Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Improved strength evaluated by digital dynamometer (strength test) after 6 and 12 weeks of intervention in both protocols of resistance training. Improved functional capacity measured by six-minute walk test after 6 and 12 weeks of intervention in both protocols of resistance training.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement in quality of life assessed by quality of life questionnaire SF-36 after 6 and 12 weeks in both protocols of resistance training. Lower muscle stress levels assessed by determining blood levels of creatine kinase (CK) by Reflotron machine in the training group with elastic tubing compared to weight training group after 12 weeks of training. Lower systemic inflammation levels measured by determining the levels of blood inflammatory cells in the training group with elastic tubing compared to weight training group after 12 weeks of training.
