Analysis of body composition in the function of competitive training in active women
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of Concurrent Training (CT), strength and aerobic either at the same training session, on anthropometric measurements and body composition of varying ages active women. It was investigated whether in the same aging process they can gain muscle mass.The sample was composed by 10 physically active women which 5 of them is between 20 and 26 years old (age=21.6 ± 2.61) and 5 is between 40 and 55 years old (age=48.6 ± 3.78). An Pre and Post-intervention physical evaluation was conducted for the collect dates of the variables investigated: body mass, waist, hip and abdomen circumferences, percentage of total body fat, lean mass, fat mass, Body mass index (BMI) and Index waist hip (IWH). The TC lasted 10 weeks, three days a week and mean duration of 60 minutes per session. For the strength training was proposed 3 micros interval cycles, divided into A- B and C Training sessions with exercises for the major muscle groups. In the aerobic training was proposed running and walking on the treadmill after each series done. The statistical treatment was composed by parametric descriptive analysis (mean and standard deviation) and the t-Student test was used for comparison of Pre and Post-intervention test variables. It was allowed a p <0.05 for significance statistics.The results showed that the Concurrent Training (CT) was able to promote significant improves on the body composition of all investigated women. It also showed that, even the aging process, the volunteers in the age range of 40 to 55 years old have reduced the percentage of total body fat, decrease fat mass and gain lean mass.
