Effect of resistance training and detraining on the oxidative stress in obese older women

Effect of resistance training and detraining on the oxidative stress in obese older women

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training (RT) followed by a similar detraining period on the modulation of oxidative stress (OS) in obese older women. Fourteen obese women (age: 68.7 ± 4.8 years, body mass: 71.3 ± 14.8 kg, height: 156.3 ± 7.2 cm, body fat: 44.3 ± 4.4%) were submitted to 12 weeks of a RT program followed by a similar detraining period. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and total radical-trapping antioxidant potential (TRAP) were used as oxidative stress indicators. AOPP was not changed by RT or detraining (P = 0.31). Furthermore, TRAP was increased with RT (+ 15.1%; P < 0.001) and remained high even after 12 weeks of detraining (10.5%; P < 0.001). The results suggest that OS can be improved by RT and the 12-week detraining period does not seem to be enough to reverse adaptations induced by RT in obese older women.
