About

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of multicomponent training (MCT) combined with multidisciplinary intervention (nutritional and psychoeducation) on body composition, biochemical markers, and physical performance in hypertensive and normotensive older women. Methods: This longitudinal study included 40 hypertensive and normotensive older women. These older women performed MCT for 36 weeks, during which parameters associated with health status were evaluated (body composition: body fat, fat-free mass; cardiovascular variables: systolic blood pressure (SPBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP); biochemical markers: glucose, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides; physical performance: arm curl, maximal isometric handgrip strength (MIHS), 30-second chair stand, 6-meter walking test (6MWT), and Timed Up and Go (TUG)). at four time points: baseline (T0), 12 weeks (T1), 24 weeks (T2), and 36 weeks (T3). A two-way mixed analysis of variance with repeated measures was performed.

Experimental group

Description:

The intervention activities consisted of two weekly MCT sessions and one session divided into nutritional and psychological education. The MCT intervention sessions lasted approximately 60 minutes and were conducted on the university premises. The exercises were designed to improve flexibility, strength, mobility, motor coordination, balance, and cardiorespiratory fitness. It should be noted that the MCT program was implemented alternately in indoor and outdoor settings, i.e., one day of the week was devoted to indoor training (gym setting), while another day was devoted to outdoor training (open space).
