Abstract

Introducion: Aging occur declines structural and functional that can to affect physical independence. Objective: Verify the influence of weekly frequency of Strength Training (ST) on functional performance in older women. Methods: 21 older womenwere divided in two groups that trained in one (G1: n=11) or two times a week (G2: n=10). The ST applied was in format of circuit that consisted of three turns with interval of 30 seconds in between exercises and repetitions between eight and 10. Results: Results showed improvement over pre-training in all tests in both groups (p <0.05). However, no significant differences were observed between groups (p> 0.05). Conclusion: ST is capable of promoting improvements in functional performance regardless of training frequency.
