The present study verified the effects of 16 weeks of Combined Physical Training (CPT) on the body composition of elderly women. Eleven elders participated in the study, who were evaluated for Body mass (BM), height, and body composition. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (p <0.05) and refer to the pre- and post-TFC moments, respectively: BM (kg) = 67.5±10.3; 66.8±10.2 (p=0.029); BMI (kg/m2) = 30.1±3.3; 29.7±3.4 (p=0.024); %Fa = 44.4±3.7; 43.3±3.6 (<0.001); Fat weight (kg) = 30.3±7.2; 29.2±7.0 (p=0.001); % Lean mass; 55.6±3.7; 56.7±3.6 (<0.001); Lean mass weight (kg); 37.2±3.7; 37.6±3.7 (p=0.048); Body water (L); 40.7±2.7; 41.5±2.8 (p=<0.001); % H2O; 27.2±2.7; 27.5±2.7 (p=0.064); Basal metabolic rate (Kcal); 1092.2±55.9; 1096.9±55.9 (p=0.044). The 16-week CPT increased fat-free mass as well as decreased the fat mass in elderly women.
