| Summary: | Objective: To evaluate and compare the effects of isodynamic training on func - tional capacity and quality of life of women with cardiovascular risk factors registered at Basic Health Unit (BHU). Methods: The study included 26 women divided into two groups: a control group (n=13) of women who did not exercise regularly, and a training group (n=13), whose members performed isodynamic training (walking exercise associated with upper limb exercise performed in di - agonals with 1 kg weight and elastic tubing) in a frequency of three sessions / week for an hour each. Results: Women in the training group had better func - tional capacity and an improved quality of life compared with the participants in the control group. Conclusion: The isodynamic training proved to be a simple, low-cost measure for health prevention and protection in suburban areas. |
