Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find an increase in maximal upper limb isometric strength, lower limb dynamic strength and submaximal upper and lower limb strength in the elderly women who performed weekly strength-increased strength training, verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in comparisons in pre- and post-intervention measurements performed within and between groups.;It is expected to find increased muscle and brain electrical activities in elderly women who performed strength training with weekly increased load, verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in comparisons in pre and postoperative measurements. postintervention performed intragroups and intergroups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find improvement in hemodynamic control in elderly women submitted to strength training with weekly increased load verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in the comparisons in the pre and post-intervention intra-group measurements. and intergroups.;It is expected to find a reduction in body fat levels in elderly women undergoing strength training with weekly increased load verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in comparisons in pre and post-intervention measurements. performed intragroups and intergroups.;It is expected to find a decrease in complaints of late muscular pain in elderly women submitted to strength training with weekly increased load verified by the hypothetical-deductive method from the presentation of a variation of at least 5% in the comparisons in the pre and post measurements. intervention performed intragroups and intergroups. | — |
