Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training (RT) on phase angle (PhA), body composition, inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers, in older women and to evaluate whether RT induced adaptations on body composition, inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers are related to healthy adaptations in PhA.


Description:

The investigation was carried out over a period of 16 weeks, with 12 weeks dedicated to the RT program and 4 weeks allocated for measurements. Anthropometric, body composition, and blood samples measurements were performed at weeks 1-2, and 15-16. A supervised progressive RT was performed between weeks 3-14. The CG did not perform any type of physical exercise during this period.

Recruitment was carried out through newspaper and radio advertisings, and home delivery of leaflets in the central area and residential neighborhoods. All participants completed health history and physical activity questionnaires and met the following inclusion criteria: 60 years old or more, physically independent, free from cardiac or orthopedic dysfunction, not receiving hormonal replacement therapy, and not performing any regular physical exercise more than once a week over the six months preceding the beginning of the investigation. After individual interviews, 59 volunteers were dismissed as potential candidates because they did not meet the inclusion criteria for the investigation. The remaining 51 older women were randomly divided into one of two groups: a training group that performed the RT program or a control group that did not perform any type of physical exercise. Anthropometric, body composition (DXA), phase angle, total body water (intra and extracellular water compartments; Xitron 4200 Bioimpedance Spectrum Analyzer), muscular strength (1RM), and blood sample measurements were performed pre- and post-training. Two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures was applied for intra- and inter-group comparisons. When an F-ratio was significant, Fisher's post hoc test was employed to identify mean differences. The statistical power was determined to verify the statistical power of the analysis. Pearson's correlation was used to evaluate the correlation between delta percent changes in body composition, and muscular strength, inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers (independent variables) with the percentage change in PhA (dependent variables). Subsequently, linear regression (bivariate analyses) was performed for all variables that presented P<0.05 in the Pearson's correlation analyses. For the multiple comparison the multivariate regression model was performed. For all statistical analyses, significance was accepted at P<0.05.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in Phase Angle Spectral bioelectrical impedance device (Xitron Hydra, model 4200, Xitron Technologies, San Diego, CA, USA) was used to estimate the resistance (R), and reactance (Xc), and subsequently the PhA was calculated as arc-tangent (Xc/R) x 180°/p. The results are presented in degree baseline and 12 weeks
Primary Change in body composition Whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Lunar Prodigy, model NRL 41990, GE Lunar, Madison, WI) was used to assess body fat, trunk fat and appendicular lean soft tissue. The total skeletal muscle mass (SMM) was estimated by the predictive equation proposed by Kim et al. (Kim et al., 2002). The results are presented in kg. baseline and 12 weeks
Primary Change in CRP Measurements of serum levels of high-sensitivity CRP were carried out using a biochemical auto-analyzer system (Dimension RxL Max - Siemens Dade Behring) according to established methods in the literature consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations. The results are presented in milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL). baseline and 12 weeks
Primary Change in cellular hydration Spectral bioelectrical impedance device (Xitron Hydra, model 4200, Xitron Technologies, San Diego, CA, USA) was used to estimate the intracellular water (ICW), extracellular water (ECW), and total body water (TBW). The results are presented in liters (L) baseline and 12 weeks
Primary Change in inflammatory markers TNF-a, and IL-6, IL-10 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), according to the speci?cations of the manufacturer (Quantikine High Sensitivity Kit, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) and performed in a microplate reader Perkin Elmer, model EnSpire (Waltham, MA, USA). All samples were determined in duplicate to guarantee the precision of the results. The results are presented in picograms per milliliter (pg/ml). Baseline and 12 weeks
Primary Change in CATALASE (CAT) The CAT analysis is by measuring the decay in concentration of H2O2, and oxygen generation using the technique described by literature. The reading of the CAT reaction was carried out in a spectrophotometer, ThermoSpectronic® brand, model HELIOS-a (Waltham, MA, USA) at a wavelength of 240 nm. Results are expressed in U / mgHb . Baseline and 12 weeks
Primary Change in superoxide dismutase (SOD) The SOD activity in erythrocytes was determined using the pyrogallol method described by literature. The reading of SOD reaction is performed in a spectrophotometer, ThermoSpectronic® brand, model HELIOS-a (Waltham, MA, USA) at a wavelength of 420 nm. Results are expressed in U / mgHb (Marklund S) Baseline and 12 weeks
Primary Change in advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) For measurements, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) were determined in the plasma using a semiautomatic method. AOPP concentrations were expressed as micromoles per liter (µmol/L) of chloramines-T equivalents. Baseline and 12 weeks
Secondary change in Muscular strength Maximal dynamic strength was evaluated using the 1RM test assessed on chest press, knee extension, and preacher curl exercises performed in this exact order. Testing for each exercise was preceded by a warm-up set (6-10 repetitions), with approximately 50% of the estimated load used in the first attempt of the 1RM. This warm-up was also used to familiarize the subjects with the testing equipment and lifting technique. The testing procedure was initiated 2 minutes after the warm-up. The subjects were instructed to try to accomplish two repetitions with the imposed load in three attempts in both exercises. The rest period was 3 to 5 min between each attempt, and 5 min between exercises. The 1RM was recorded as the last resistance lifted in which the subject was able to complete only one single maximal execution baseline and 12 weeks
Secondary Dietary intake Participants were instructed by a dietitian to complete a food record on three nonconsecutive days (two week days and one weekend day) pre- and post-intervention. Participants were given specific instructions regarding the recording of portion sizes and quantities to identify all food and fluid intake, in addition to viewing food models in order to enhance precision. Total energy intake, protein, carbohydrate, and lipid content were calculated using nutrition analysis software (Avanutri Processor Nutrition Software, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Version 3.1.4). All participants were asked to maintain their normal diet throughout the investigation period. baseline and 12 weeks
