Comparison Between Different Intensities and Volumes in Strenght Training in the Elderly
Narrative Review
Abstract
Strength training leads to an improvement in muscle strength, contributing to mitigating the deleterious effects of sarcopenia. However, there is a lack in the literature regarding the manipulation of adequate training intensity and volume to trigger strength gains for the elderly. The aim of this study was to analyze studies that investigated the comparison between strength training prescriptions involving different intensity and/or volumes and their effects on muscle strength gains in the elderly. The search took place in three databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Lilacs. 26 articles were found that meet the established eligibility criteria, 13 involving variables characteristic of volume and 13 of training intensity. The results indicated that manipulation of the volume occurred through the comparison between the number of series and weekly frequencies, and the intensity through the supported load, interval time, and speed of execution of the movements. Therefore, the present review concluded that strength training for the elderly presents greater strength gains when a greater number of series and weekly frequency, high intensity, short interval time, and high speed of execution of movements are prescribed. It is suggested the elaboration of experimental works involving the investigation of the comparison of other relevant variables for the training and its effects on the strength gains in the elderly.
