The aim of this study was to determine possible changes derived from a periodized strength training protocol (TF) accomplished for 20 women with a mean age of 58.8 ± 3.54 years old, physically active, and this research characterized as pre-trial. In the analysis of body composition was used measured weight (kg), height (m), body mass index - BMI (kg/m2); skinfolds (mm) are: Chest (TO), midaxillary (AM), triceps (TR), subscapular (SE), supra-iliac (SI), abdominal (AB) and thigh (CX). The program of 36 sessions was divided into 3 mesocycles: With number of repetitions between 10 and 12 = 61 to 65% of 1RM; B with number of repetitions between 8 and 10 = 53 to 61% of 1RM and C performing 10 to 12 repetitions with intensity of 61 at 65% 1RM. The% of fat was calculated using equation of summation 7 folds of Jackson, Pollock and Ward (1980) jointly with the equation of SIRI. The exercise program consisted of 45 º leg press, bench press, pull downs knee extension, low closed rowing and knee flexion and super rectum abdominal. The analysis of anthropometric values showed significant differences (p |
