Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The investigators will do an intervention on four groups of previously sedentary post-menopausal women which consists: group 1 - 30 minutes per day of physical protocol; group 2 - 50 minutes per day of physical protocol; group 3 - 70 minutes per day of physical protocol; group 4 - sedentary control women. The protocol consists of three sessions per week of concurrent training (half session with aerobic training and the other part with weight training). Inflammatory and oxidative parameters will be analyzed and the investigators hypothesized that 90 minutes per week of concurrent training (group 1) will reduce the inflammatory parameters and the oxidative stress, and this improvements will be greater so much as the longer the sessions (a dose-response effect). The physical activity practiced out of the intervention will be controlled by a questionnaire (the commuting and leisure sections of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire) and the food intake by a 24-hour food recall.

Detailed Description

The protocol will consist of an intervention based on concurrent training, for previously sedentary post-menopausal women divided on four groups: 1) control group; 2) 90 minutes of physical training per week; 3) 150 minutes of training per week; 4) 210 minutes of training per week.

The control group will be oriented to maintain their normal activity and habits and will not receive the intervention. The group of 90 minutes per week will do three sessions of 30 minutes per week of concurrent training, which consists on 15 minutes of aerobic exercise and 15 minutes of strength training. The group of 150 minutes will do three sessions of 50 minutes per week, which consists on 25 minutes of aerobic exercise and 25 minutes of strength training. The group pf 210 minutes per week will do three sessions of 70 minutes per week, which consists on 35 minutes of aerobic exercise and 35 minutes of strength training.

The aerobic exercise will be performed on cycle-ergometers and the subjects will exercise between the levels 14 and 15 of Borg's scale of perceived exertion. The strength training will be performed on weight machines by a linear periodization, which will consist on a week of adaptation (series of 10 to 12 submaximal repetitions), next three weeks with series of 12 to 14 maximal repetitions, weeks five to eight with series of 10 to 12 maximal repetitions, weeks nine to twelve with series of eight to 10 maximal repetitions. Al participants will do the maximum number of series of strength training that the time permits.

The blood samples will be collected at the beginning of the study (week zero), at the middle (week six) and at the end (week 12). The subjects will fill a 24-hour food recall (to control the food intake) and the commuting and leisure sections of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (to control the physical activity practiced out of the intervention).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in Interleukin-6 [Weeks 0, 6 and 12]

  2. Change in Adenosine Deaminase Activity [Weeks 0, 6 and 12]

  3. Change in Butyrylcholinesterase Activity [Weeks 0, 6 and 12]

  4. Change in Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances [Weeks 0, 6 and 12]

  5. Change in Total Thiol Content [Weeks 0, 6 and 12]

  6. Change in Glutathione Peroxidase Activity [Weeks 0, 6 and 12]

  7. Change in Superoxide Dismutase Activity [Weeks 0, 6 and 12]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in Performance in the Six-minute Walk Test [Weeks 0 and 12]

  2. Change in Handgrip Strength [Weeks 0 and 12]

    Measured using a handgrip dynamometer and quantified in kilogram-force

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Change in Body Mass Index [Weeks 0 and 12]

  2. Change in Minutes Per Week of Physical Activity Out of Intervention [Week 0 and 12]

    Measured by the commuting and leisure sections of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire

  3. Change in Calories Intake [Weeks 0 and 12]

    Measured by a 24-hour food recall and quantified in calories

  4. Educational Level [Week 0]

    Measured by a questionnaire and quantified categorically in: Incomplete primary school; Primary school; Incomplete high school; High school; Incomplete higher education; Higher education. The number of baseline participants is not consistent with number provided in the Participant Flow module because two of the beginning participants did not arrived on the first data collection. Due to this, these participants (one of the 90 min/week, and other of the 150 min/week group) were lost to follow-up before the baseline data collection.

  5. Household Income [Week 0]

    Measured by a questionnaire and quantified by the income of all persons in the participant's home. The number of baseline participants is not consistent with number provided in the Participant Flow module because two of the beginning participants did not arrived on the first data collection. Due to this, these participants (one of the 90 min/week, and other of the 150 min/week group) were lost to follow-up before the baseline data collection.

  6. Age [Week 0]

    The number of baseline participants is not consistent with number provided in the Participant Flow module because two of the beginning participants did not arrived on the first data collection. Due to this, these participants (one of the 90 min/week, and other of the 150 min/week group) were lost to follow-up before the baseline data collection.

  7. Chronic Use of Medication [Week 0]

    Measured by a questionnaire and quantified categorically in: No; Yes. This variable refers to a chronic use of any medication. The number of baseline participants is not consistent with number provided in the Participant Flow module because two of the beginning participants did not arrived on the first data collection. Due to this, these participants (one of the 90 min/week, and other of the 150 min/week group) were lost to follow-up before the baseline data collection.
