Abstract

Introduction and objective: Functional training is characterized using free and common movements of daily life, commonly used to improve the physical fitness of practitioners. Thus, this study aims to analyze the effects of functional training practiced in sand on the body composition of obese women. Materials and methods: This are a pilot study, composed of three women (A1, A2 and A3), mean age (38.6 ± 13.20 years), sedentary. All performed an eight-week training, three days a week, with a total duration of 60 minutes per session. For body composition analysis anthropometric and bioimpedance assessments were made before and after intervention. All data were tabulated to compare pre and post intervention results. Results and conclusion: subjects decreased body mass (A1: - 1.1 kg; A2: - 9.3 kg; A3: - 3.7 kg), fat mass (A1: - 2.6 kg; A2: - 6.1 kg; A3: -3.8 kg), degree of obesity (A1: - 2.1%; A2: - 18.5%; A3: - 6.5%), visceral fat area (A1: + 2.9 cm²; A2: - 3.7 cm²; A3: - 3.3 cm²) and lean mass (A1: + 1.3 kg; A2: - 3.1 kg; A3: + 2.9 kg) ). It was concluded that the Functional Training applied in the sand allowed positive changes on the body composition of women. However, the results found here cannot be extrapolated to other situations, given that the women investigated were in caloric deficit.
