Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected Outcome (1): Top Improved hormonal blood profile, metabolic and inflammatory, according to laboratory methods (automated colorimetric, kinetic, and electrochemiluminescence immune enzyme assay) proposed by the manufacturers of each measurement kit comparing variations during the initial time and after 16 weeks deltas in percentage relative to low volume and control group. Outcome Found (1): a better response to the metabolic and hormonal profile only for the low-volume group compared to the other was observed. Regarding the inflammatory profile the groups of low and high volume showed a higher attenuation compared to the control group after 16 weeks of resistance training. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected Outcome (1): Improves Superior body composition of the high-volume group as measured by the indirect method of skinfold caliper with and equations to estimate body density and fat percentage, comparing variations during the baseline and after 8 weeks deltas in percentage compared to the low volume and control group. Outcome Found (1): There was no difference between groups for body fat reduction after 8 weeks of resistance training. Expected Outcome (2): Top Increased physical performance muscle strength as measured by the test method of one repetition maximum, comparing variations during the baseline and after 8 weeks in percentage deltas relative to low volume and control group. Outcome Found (2): There was an increase in the strength greater for the low-volume group compared to the high volume group and the control after 8 weeks of resistance training. Expected Outcome (3): Top Increased physical performance of cardiorespiratory fitness as measured by the walk test method of a mile, comparing variations during the baseline and after 8 weeks in percentage deltas relative to low volume and control groups . Outcome Found (3): an increase in cardiorespiratory fitness was observed only for high-volume group compared to the other groups after 8 weeks of resistance training. | — |
