Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Intervention 2X/week (G2X)

Participants performed resistance training (RT) composed of eight exercises performed for one set of 10-15 repetition maximum (RM). The rest interval between exercises was 2-3 min. Participants were instructed to control the speed of movement in the ratio of 1:2 for concentric and eccentric muscle actions, respectively. The progression of training loads in each exercise occurred, when a participant completed 15 repetitions in two consecutive sessions, with increases of 2-5% in exercises for the upper limbs, and 5-10% in exercises for the lower limbs. At the end of each session, one static stretching exercise at the point of discomfort for 15 seconds was performed for all major muscle groups for a total of exercises. Participants were asked not to perform any other type of organized physical exercise during the entire study period.
