About this study
Official title: Effects of Resistance Training Periodization on Hemodynamic, Morphofunctional and Cognitive Parameters of Robust Older Women.
The present study aimed at investigating the effects of two different resistance training protocols - nonperiodized (NP) and daily undulating periodization (DUP) - on hemodynamic, morphofunctional and cognitive parameters of robust older women. Methods: Forty-two older women were randomized allocated into one of the three experimental groups: NP, DUP, and control group (CG). Evaluations of the hemodynamic, morphofunctional and cognitive parameters occurred before, during and after six months. The exercise groups performed the program of exercise twice a week over 22 weeks. In NP, the two weekly sessions were based on 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions at a difficult intensity. However, in DUP, a power exercise session based on 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions at a moderate intensity was added in the first session of the week.

The interventions proposed in the present trial were based on a safe and well-established exercise training program
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Nonperiodized resistance training | Experimental | The Nonperiodized group performed was an intervention based on resistance exercise program with a constant intensity. Receives: Other: Physical exercise |
| Daily undulating periodized | Experimental | The Daily undulating periodized program was an intervention based on daily alterations on exercise load. . Receives: Other: Physical exercise |
| Control group | No intervention | The control group remained their regular habits of life during all study period, without engaging in physical exercise programs. |

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?

Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03443375, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Feb 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
