Combined (CT) and multicomponent training (MT) presents several benefits for aging individuals. However, the literature does not provide evidence on which of the two physical training models can better enhance improvements in physical capacity and health parameters in middle-aged and older women.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of MT and CT on physical capacity, cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial assessment, and biochemical profile of physically inactive women aged between 50 and 70 years.
Participants were randomized into two groups: MT (32 women, 64.2 ± 6.4 years) and CT (39 women, 61.4 ± 4.3 years). Both training sessions had a weekly volume of 180 min, for 14 weeks, with assessments at baseline and after the training period.
CT showed better results when compared to MT. In the four evaluation blocks, we noticed differences in the effect size (L = large, M = moderate, S = small, and T = trivial) between the groups in 26 variables in total, highlighting the CT group (L = 11, M = 5, S = 2, and T = 8) compared to the MT group (L = 8, M = 7, S = 7, and T = 4). Our findings showed group-time differences for strength variables using the maximum dynamic repetition test in upper and lower limbs and for agility. The multicomponent training showed improvement in the functional strength of the upper limbs evaluated through the elbow flexion and extension test ( = 0.037), and HDL ( = 0.022).
Fourteen weeks of CT showed better benefits when compared to MT.
综合（CT）和多组分训练（MT）为老年人带来了诸多益处。然而，目前的文献尚不能提供证据来表明这两种体能训练模式中哪一种能更好地提高中年和老年女性的体能和健康参数。
本研究旨在比较 MT 和 CT 对身体能力、认知、行为和心理社会评估以及身体活动不足的 50 至 70 岁女性生化特征的影响。
参与者被随机分为两组：MT 组（32 名女性，64.2±6.4 岁）和 CT 组（39 名女性，61.4±4.3 岁）。两组训练的每周总时长为 180 分钟，持续 14 周，在基线和训练期结束时进行评估。
与 MT 相比，CT 显示出更好的结果。在四个评估块中，我们总共注意到 26 个变量中，两组之间的效果大小（L=大，M=中，S=小，T=微不足道）存在差异，其中 CT 组（L=11，M=5，S=2，T=8）与 MT 组（L=8，M=7，S=7，T=4）相比，差异更为明显。我们的研究结果显示，在四肢最大动态重复测试和敏捷性方面，力量变量存在组间时间差异。多组分训练在上肢功能力量方面表现出改善，通过肘屈伸测试评估（=0.037），以及高密度脂蛋白（=0.022）。
与 MT 相比，14 周的 CT 显示出更好的益处。
