Comparação entre o treinamento aeróbio e o treinamento de força como ferramentas para o emagrecimento: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

The acquisition and / or maintenance of a healthy weight has been a constant challenge for much of the population. At the same time, obesity, defined as the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue and characterized by excessive energy intake and physical inactivity has become a chronic disease world-wide. Among the strategies to reduce and control the body mass are: reducing caloric intake, medications and adoption of an active lifestyle. The aim of this study was to analyze, through a systematic review, the effects of aerobic training and strength training on total energy expenditure, and identify the most effective methods for weight loss. To select articles descriptors were used "strength training", "aerobic training", "strength training", "aerobic exercise", "energy expenditure"; "Energy metabolism", "exercise", "aerobic exercise" and "resistance training", registered in the Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). The searches were conducted in the Bireme and PubMed databases. eight articles were identified that met the eligibility criteria, which involved a total of 288 subjects of both sexes, aged between 18 and 72 years. The analyzed studies suggested that high intensity TF seems to be the best training option for the population of obese / overweight, due to low volume and the optimization of energy expenditure during the session (527kcal in 11min / session, 3x / week). However, there is the need for the production of chronic studies in obese subjects and assessment techniques more accurate and sensitive.
