On the other hand, traditional training (TT) seeks to improve muscular fitness, through exercises predominantly performed in conventional machines. Lately, there has been a...

O presente estudo buscou analisar a efetividade de um programa comunitário de atividade física, por meio da comparação da funcionalidade entre idosas "iniciantes" e "veteranas". A amostra foi dividida em: Grupo Iniciantes (GI, n=15): participantes inscritas no programa a menos de seis meses; e Grupo Veteranas (GV, n=15): participantes inscritas há...

Background: While traditional resistance exercises have been widely used to promote muscle strength and hypertrophy in the elderly, few studies have reported the use of a functional approach in which common patterns for daily activities are considered the primary stimulus. Objective: Investigate whether functional training has similar effects the t...

... The claims differ when it comes to the research conducted on various populations. Despite the evidence in favor of functional exercise (Da Silva-Grigoletto et al., 2019;de Resende-Neto et al., 2021;Yildiz, Pinar, & Gelen, 2019), numerous authors doubt its superiority over traditional principles (Aragao-Santos et al., 2018;Bonney, Ferguson, & Smits, 2017;Branco et al., 2020;Mcweeny, Boule, Neto, & Kennedy, 2020). ...
... However, many individuals who partake in FT have this modality as the only means to satisfy the PA requirements to improve fitness and health (Silva Grigoletto et al., 2020). Instead of taking the time to perform aerobic and resistance training, adequate amounts of both modalities can be simultaneously applied (de Resende Neto et al., 2019;Iskandar et al., 2017;Schubert & Palumbo, 2019;Silva Grigoletto et al., 2020). Since the lack of time is often cited as a barrier to exercise participation, FT addresses a major deterrent in lowering adherence to physical training (Buch et al., 2017;Gjestvang et al., 2020). ...
