| Popis: | The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of resistance training program in the fitness of untrained older women. Fourteen women in Chile (65,86 ± 6.55 kg, 1.55 ± 0.06 m, 67.71 ± 5.31 years old) underwent a program of strength training for 6 weeks, performing Back Test (BT) , Leg Press (PS), Bench Press (BP) and Knee Extension (ER) at 3 sessions per week, recording measurements before and after the period of training on maximal dynamic strength (FDM) estimated indirectly by the mass displaced in a maximal repetitions test on those exercises and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2máx) estimated by the UKK test. The results show significant differences between the pre-and post-test values (mean ± SD) of estimated VO2max (11.02 ± 7.26 and 15.57 ± 5.17 ml kg-1 min-1, P |
