CAMBIRIBA, Ayanne Rodrigues et al. Effects of two resistance exercise programs on the health-related fitness of obese women with pain symptoms in the knees: An experimental study. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.1, pp.30-41. Epub 31-Dez-2021. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v22i1.4060.
Introduction:
Overweight negatively impacts the cardiovascular system and osteomyoarticular, promoting pain in the joints of the lower limbs. Therefore, strategies have been applied to reduce overweight through lifestyle changes.
Objective:
To investigate the effects of two multidisciplinary intervention programs on the health-related physical fitness of obese women with pain symptoms in the knees.
Methods:
Women between 40 and 59 years of age with obesity (n=59) were evaluated pre- and post-intervention in terms of anthropometry, body composition, physical fitness, level of disability in the knee and hip, and health-related quality of life. A randomized experimental study of parallel groups was conducted for 8 weeks, using two resistance exercise programs and food reeducation. All participants received the same nutritional interventions. For physical exercises, the participants were randomized into two groups: G1, the “strength group” using machines (n=30), and G2, the “body weight” group (n=29). Twenty-eight women (G1, n=18; G2, n=10) were included in the final analyses. This study was approved by Ethics Local Committee. The groups and time were evaluated using two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. A p<0.05 was assumed for all analyses.
Results:
A time effect was identified, with higher values for maximum isometric lumbar traction strength after the intervention period in both groups (p<0.05). However, no significant differences were identified among the other variables investigated (p>0.05).
Conclusion:
The absence of significant results for all variables, except maximum isometric lumbar traction, may be justified by the moderate adherence of the participants to interventions (approximately 59%-66%) since the study was conducted during the period of social isolation (COVID-19). However, it is believed that the intervention models were positive in maintaining the variables studied.
