The aim was to explore the effects of a 32-week resistance training (RT) intervention with elastic bands with or without microfiltered seawater (SW) supplementation on isokinetic strength, bone mineral density (BMD), body composition, and subjective quality of life in postmenopausal women. Ninety-three untrained women (age: 70.00 ± 6.26 years; body mass index: 22.05 ± 3.20 kg/m; body fat: 37.77 ± 6.38%; 6.66 ± 1.01 s up-and-go test) voluntarily participated in this randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial. Participants were allocated into four groups (RT+SW, RT+PLA, CON+SW, and CON+PLA). The RT intervention (twice weekly) consisted of different exercises for the whole body performed at submaximal intensities with elastic bands. Both control groups were not involved in any exercise program. A two-way mixed analysis of variance of repeated measures revealed significant improvements in almost all the variables in both intervention groups ( < 0.05). However, significant differences with controls were encountered in isokinetic strength, body fat percentage, and bodily pain. Although the group with SW supplementation obtained greater effect sizes, non-significant differences between both RT groups were observed. In conclusion, the determinant factor of the adaptations seems to be RT rather than SW.
目的是探索为期 32 周的弹性带抗阻训练(RT)干预,结合或不结合微滤海水(SW)补充,对绝经后妇女的等速肌力、骨密度(BMD)、身体成分和主观生活质量的影响。93 名未经训练的女性(年龄:70.00±6.26 岁;体重指数:22.05±3.20 kg/m;体脂:37.77±6.38%;起立-行走测试:6.66±1.01 s)自愿参加了这项随机、双盲、对照试验。参与者被分配到四个组(RT+SW、RT+PLA、CON+SW 和 CON+PLA)。RT 干预(每周两次)包括使用弹性带进行全身不同的亚最大强度练习。两个对照组均不参与任何运动方案。两因素混合方差分析显示,两个干预组的几乎所有变量都有显著改善(<0.05)。然而,与对照组相比,等速肌力、体脂百分比和身体疼痛有显著差异。尽管补充 SW 的组获得了更大的效应量,但两个 RT 组之间没有观察到显著差异。结论,适应的决定因素似乎是 RT 而不是 SW。
