Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Alterations in telomere content influenced by continuous aerobic training and interval aerobic training. The telome content will be analyzed by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The data are expressed in relative values of 2-CT in which it is expected a difference of 0.15 between the group with exercise and without exercise; and 0.20 in the different types of aerobic exercise.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in hormone concentrations and endocrine parameters, body composition, quality of life, anxiety, depression and sexual function mediated by the different types of training. Hormonal and endocrine components will be assessed by chemiluminescence and body composition by absorptiometry method Dual Energy X-Ray absortiometry (DEXA), skin folds and bioelectrical impedance. The quality of life will be assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire, for anxiety and depression will be used the hospital anxiety and depression scale questionaire, for evaluation of sexual function will be used the female sexual function index. Improvement in hormonal and endocrine parameters, reducing body fat and improves and / or recovery of sexual function, emotional status (anxiety and depression) and quality of life, which may vary with the type of training.
