The aim of this study was to observe the effects of a concurrent physical training programme (PTFC) on the muscle strength and body composition of adults. The sample was composed of 54 men, non-athletes, who were split into two groups: the experimental group (EG, n=42, 45±8.46 years of age) and the control group (CG, n=12, 47.17±7.41 years of age). Body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and muscle strength was assessed by testing the repetition maximum (1 RM). The PTFC was composed of race training sessions in the Fatmax intensity zone and strength training. The training sessions were conducted three times a week for 40 min each over a period of 24 weeks. Statistical analysis of the data consisted of a descriptive and inferential analysis: Shapiro-Wilk (normality) and multiple comparisons (ANOVA 2×2). For this study, p<0.05 indicated statistical significance. Significant increases in 1RMs ( p=0.001) and 1RMa ( p=0.000) were found when comparing the post-test to the intra-EG values. The inter-group analysis revealed an increase in muscle strength in the 1RMa post-test ( p=0.005) in favour of the EG group. Importantly, no significant changes in body composition were observed between the groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
