Resumen
- The aim was assessing the short-term effects of multicomponent training including some elastic exercises on body composition and balance in healthy older women. In two sessions/week for 12 weeks, 24 women performed 4 blocks of exercise in 2 experimental conditions: a) Control Group; b) Multicomponent Training Group (EMC). The following variables were assessed: % of body fat and different static and dynamic balance tests. EMC protocol including exercises with elastic bands performed at progressive intensity and volume over time is effective for improving body composition and balance in healthy older women.
