This study evaluate whether resistance training variables modulate the fatigability (power-duration relationship) and physical performance in adults and older adults
The resistance training variables manipulation is utilized for maximize the results of resistance training. However it is unclear whether the resistance training variables manipulation modulates the fatigability (i.e. power-duration relationship) and whether this explains the improvement on physical performance (i.e. gait speed, sit-to-stand and timed up and go tests).

In LL, the postmenopausal women will be submitted to 12 weeks of Resistance training with moderate volume (i.e. three sets per exercise) and low load (i.e. 30% of one repetition maximum)
In HL, the postmenopausal women will be submitted to 12 weeks of Resistance training with moderate volume (i.e. three sets per exercise) and high load (i.e. 80% of one repetition maximum)
In HVHL, the postmenopausal women will be submitted to 12 weeks of Resistance training with high volume (i.e. six sets per exercise) and hig load (i.e. 80% of one maximum repetition)
Post-degree program in physical education
Uberaba, MG - Minas Gerais, Brazil
RECRUITINGFatigability
The fatigability will be evaluate by 60 maximum voluntary isometric contractions (3 s contraction, 2 s rest) in knee extensors at 70 degree.
Time frame: Changes in fatigability measure (e.g. baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention)
Physical Performance
The physical performance will be evaluate by gait speed tests (e.g. 10m walking at usual and fast pace, 400m walk at usual and fast pace).
Time frame: Changes in physical performance measure (e.g. baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention)
