F. efeito de um programa de treinamento resistido complementar no perfil antropométrico e nas capacidades motoras de mulheres ativas. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity, v. 5, n. 1, p. 16-25, 2011. The objective of this study was analyze the effect of the inclusion of a resistance training program (RTP) in anthropometric profile and in motor capacities of physically active women. The sample was consisted of 26 women (57,62±7,58 years old; 60,2±10,29 kg; 1,49±0,05 m) participants of the Agita Santarém Project (ASP) of Campus XII – Santarém, in the University of State of Pará, which were divided randomly into two groups (GI e GII) for three situations evaluation. An RTP was administered during 4 weeks (2 sessions per week) and the group that did not start the RTP continued to participate of Project’s lessons. After this period the groups reversed the actuation. The proposed RTP emphasized exercises that stimulate the large muscle groups. We used the Student t test for independent samples both for independent samples and for related samples with p<0.05 for statistical significance. The application used was GRAPHPAD PRISM®. It was not been observed significantvariations in anthropometric characteristic, flexibility and strength of upper and lower members, as well as the physical mobility involving power, speed, agility and dynamic balance. On the other hand, the training generated positive changes in aerobic capacity compared with the exclusive activities at Agita SantarémProject. The conclusion, according to conditions and limitations of the research is that a 4 weeks RTP added to the lessons of ASP were not sufficient to increase favorable gains in studied variables, excepted the aerobic capacity.
