Abstract

Introduction:Overweight predisposes the body to a number of diseases such as heart failure, stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, and coronary thrombosis. The exercise prescription for weight loss was restricted to aerobic exercise for these to have a greater caloric expenditure during exercise when compared to resistance training. In the mid-80s, the scientific community recognized the potential value of weight training on functional capacity and other factors related to health, basal metabolism, and weight control. Aims:This study aims to analyze the effect of 12 sessions of resistance training of moderate intensity (60% 1RM) performed 3 times a week in body composition of an individual female, adult and sedentary. Materials andmethods:For the research was selected a woman of 56 years and sedentary that underwent 12 sessions of strength training with 60% of 1 RM. Results:It was observed that the reduction in total body mass and fat mass and increasing lean body mass. Discussion:Studies show changes in body composition in subjects undergoing strength training with intensity and relatively high volume. The same is not observed in individuals undergoing training protocols intensity and short volume. Conclusion:Although this study show a trend of change in body composition with only twelve sessions of strength training more studies are needed to examine the effectiveness of a short training on body composition.
