Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: It is expected that after a 16-week period of detraining, there may be a partial or complete loss of the adaptations induced by resistance and multicomponent training on functional capacity, handgrip strength, and anthropometric variables in older adults. On the other hand, it is believed that a 16-week period of retraining could lead to the recovery of these adaptations;Found Outcome 1: In the Chair Sit-to-Stand test, after detraining, there was a significant reduction of 19.1% in the number of repetitions performed. However, after the retraining period, there was a recovery of 14.5%. For the elbow flexion test, after detraining, there was a significant decrease of 16.5% in the number of elbow flexions, and after retraining, the average increased by 21.4%. For the Sit-and-Reach test, after detraining, although not significant, there was a loss of 77.3% in flexibility. However, after retraining, flexibility significantly improved by 128.2%. In the Seated, Walk 2.44, and Return-to-Sit test, although no significant changes were observed between the time points, a slight increase of 3.2% in the time taken to complete the test was noted after detraining, and a decrease of 7.8% after retraining. Similarly, the Reach Behind the Back test showed a slight decrease of 3.3% in flexibility after detraining and an increase of 11.1% after retraining. Finally, in the stationary march test, after detraining, there was a significant decrease of 10.1% in the number of executions performed, and after retraining, an increase of 13.6%. In manual grip strength, a significant difference was observed, F=22.914, in the comparison between the means of initial versus post-detraining and post-detraining versus post-retraining
