This exploratory and descriptive study aimed to evaluate the effects of ten (10) weeks of resistance training and on the functional capacity of independent elderly. The sample consisted of 9 elderly women, mean age 65.33 ± 3.61 years, height of 1.55 ± 0.05 meters and body mass of 63.59 ± 8.62 kg. The instruments used for evaluation were the anthropometric variables and The American Alliance for Health, Physical Fitness, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) which is composed by five motor tests, in which tests of agility and dynamic balance, flexibility, strength and endurance of upper limbs and general aerobic endurance and walking ability (RAG). Data analysis Were used mean and standard deviation and analyzed descriptively using mean comparison. It was observed that anthropometric data were maintained in all periods. On the other hand, the average body mass of the elderly in the training and trainees period increased. In the functional capacity in the training, the agility had a reduction of 6.40% of the time, the force improved 15.66% and the RAG decreased 1.91% of the time, in contrast to the trainer making worse these functional capacities, mainly the force with 10.04%. In the flexibility had a loss in the training period of 16.75%, and in the trainer a gain of 35.25% in relation to the training. Thus strength training with frequency of 2 days per week seems to provide positive changes in the physical/functional aspect of the sample, through exercises in the force. However, new studies with a larger sample number may contribute to the search for the best strength training protocol for this population.
