“…The rate of strength development has been previously reported in young and healthy individuals Hickson et al 1994), as well as in middle-aged and elderly men and women Morganti et al 1994;Hakkinen et al 2000). These studies consistently show greater strength gains in the initial phases of a training program.…”

“…Morganti et al (1994) showed that strength continued to develop over time in 39 healthy older women (59.5±0.9 yr) who were randomized to a control group or to a resistance training group over a 12-month period. The women in the resistance training group exercised twice weekly at -80% of 1-RM and experienced significant strength gains over the entire 12 months of training.…”

“…There remains controversy, however, regarding the level and rate of improvement in muscular strength with resistance exercise training. For example, some report a plateau in strength development with short term (8-12 weeks) and/or long term (>12 weeks) resistance training, while others do not report slowing in gains over time Fiatarone et al 1990;Morganti et al 1994). Additionally, although several studies have reported improvements in strength from pre-…”

“…Accordingly, the association between changes in muscle cross-sectional area and HbA 1c was significant only with resistance training, falling just short of statistical significance with combined exercise training. Thus although it could be argued that significant strength improvements can be achieved with lower numbers of sets and/or training sessions per week [40][41][42], it may be necessary for people with type 2 diabetes to perform a greater work volume (i.e. up to three sessions per week of resistance exercise training) to achieve significant improvements in HbA 1c .…”

Aim/hypothesis In people with type 2 diabetes, exercise improves glucose control (as reflected in HbA 1c ) and physical fitness, but it is not clear to what extent these exercise-induced improvements are correlated with one another. We hypothesised that reductions in HbA 1c would be related: (1) to increases in aerobic fitness and strength respectively in patients performing aerobic training or resistance training; and (2) to changes in strength and aerobic fitness in patients performing aerobic and resistance training. Methods We randomly allocated 251 type 2 diabetes patients to aerobic, resistance, or aerobic plus resistance training, or to a sedentary control group. Peak oxygen consumption (V : O 2peak ), workload, treadmill time and ventilatory threshold measurements from maximal treadmill exercise testing were measured at baseline and 6 months.Muscular strength was measured as the maximum weight that could be lifted eight times on the leg press, bench press and seated row exercises. Results With aerobic training, significant associations were found between changes in both V : O 2peak (p=0.040) and workload (p=0.022), and changes in HbA 1c. With combined training, improvements in V : O 2peak (p = 0.008), workload (p=0.034) and ventilatory threshold (p=0.003) were significantly associated with changes in HbA 1c. Increases in strength on the seated row (p=0.006) and in mid-thigh muscle cross-sectional area (p=0.030) were significantly associated with changes in HbA 1c after resistance exercise, whereas the association between increases in muscle cross-sectional area and HbA 1c in participants doing aerobic plus resistance exercise (p= 0.059) was of borderline significance. Conclusions/interpretation There appears to be a link between changes in fitness and HbA 1c . The improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness with aerobic training may be a better predictor of changes in HbA 1c than improvements in strength.

“…Some authors point that long periods of training (more than twelve-weeks) are needed to provide enough information or changes in those parameters evaluated (24) . RT has several benefits for elderly population, that ranges from attenuation of loss in muscle mass occurred during aging (25) , until increase in muscle strength (26) . Scientific evidence with this type of training shows that even in old adults with frailty condition, there is possible to increase the functional mobility and muscle size (27) .…”

Background Aging is an irreversible process by which all living humans will pass, and the percentage of older population growth significantly in the last decades. There are an increasing evidence showing that independently older people, with autonomy and physical capacity, has better quality of life in comparison with others without self-sufficiency. Objective: Verify the changes on Quality-of-Life (QoL), body composition and physical performance (PF) of elderly women submitted to resistance training (RT). Methods: 16 elderly women participated in the study, that consisted in 12 weeks of Resistance training. The QoL with SF-36, the blood pressure (BP), hand-grip strength, anthropometry and physical performance to senior, was measured before and after of resistance training. Results: The main findings of this study were that the RT for 12 weeks are able to changes the self-perception of QoL of elderly women, simultaneously with decrease in percent of fat and increase in strength and PF. In addition, a maintenance of BP levels, flexibility and self-perception of pain and global health (QoL domains), were observed after this period. Conclusion: The study suggest that the 12 weeks of RT, twice a week, is able to ameliorate several physical fitness components and QoL domains, in community-dwelling elderly women.
