Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Statistically significant improvement (p value less than 0.05) of the variables of body composition after 16 weeks of training. Furthermore, it is expected that the effect promoted by this training program remain for a long time (6 months or 1 years).;Because it is a finished research, we observed statistically significant improvement (p value less than 0.05) of body composition variables after 16 weeks of training. The maintenance of body composition values occurred for the body fat variable (persistence of the effects in time 6 months or 1 year). However, for the variable body composition (lean mass) there was no persistence. | — |
