Abstract

Introduction: Bodybuilding is the form of training used more in gyms and very important in the process of losing weight, being checked and confirmed its benefits in body composition. Objective: To evaluate the systematic training withweights as a major factor in weight loss and maintaining muscle mass of adult women. Materialsand Methods: Our sample included 20 adult women with a mean age of 31.6 ±7.7 years. The sessions lasted approximately 1 hour and were conducted three times a week for 14 weeks. We carried out an exploratory data analysis to the general characteristics of the participants and the comparison between the observed variables before and after the training protocol proposed, we used the Student t test. Results: The results before and after training, the five indicators of body composition: body mass index, total body mass, fat percentage, fat mass and lean body mass, showed statistically significant changes for all variables, except for the lean body mass. Discussion: Several studies in the literature have investigated the impact of physical exercise programs on body composition, which, added to these studies, demonstrates the efficiency of programs of weight training to improve body composition. Conclusion: The results suggest that 14 weeks of strength training consisted of three sessions per week can provide significant reductions in indicators of body composition in adult women, previously trained.
