    Nonperiodized resistance training

    Daily undulating periodized

    Control group

    Arm Description

    The Nonperiodized group performed was an intervention based on resistance exercise program with a constant intensity.

    The Daily undulating periodized program was an intervention based on daily alterations on exercise load. .

    The control group remained their regular habits of life during all study period, without engaging in physical exercise programs.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The present study aimed at investigating the effects of two different resistance training protocols - nonperiodized (NP) and daily undulating periodization (DUP) - on hemodynamic, morphofunctional and cognitive parameters of robust older women. Methods: Forty-two older women were randomized allocated into one of the three experimental groups: NP, DUP, and control group (CG). Evaluations of the hemodynamic, morphofunctional and cognitive parameters occurred before, during and after six months. The exercise groups performed the program of exercise twice a week over 22 weeks. In NP, the two weekly sessions were based on 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions at a difficult intensity. However, in DUP, a power exercise session based on 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions at a moderate intensity was added in the first session of the week.
