ABSTRACT
Abstract

Aim:

In the process of aging, there is a decrease on muscle strength and cognitive function. Resistance training combined with blood flow restriction (BFRRT) has been shown capable of maintaining or improve aspects of physical health. However, the effects of BFRRT the cognitive function of the elderly are not clear. This study aimed to describe the design of a randomized controlled clinical trial, that will investigate the effects of BFRRT on cognitive function, physical performance and physiological and morphological aspects in elderly women.

Methods:

Forty participants will be randomized into one of the following groups low load resistance training, blood flow restriction resistance training, moderate load resistance training or Control. All intervention groups will complete 16 weeks of resistance training, three times week (45 minutes each), with training consisting of four exercises for the upper and lower body, including three sets of ten repetitions each. No exercise will be performed by the Control group. Cognitive function will be the primary outcome of the study. Secondary outcomes will include body composition, muscle strength, functional capacity, double-task, level of physical activity, static and dynamic balance, brain activity, BDNF neurotrophic factor, anxiety, depression and sleep state).

Conclusion:

This project will contribute to the existing knowledge and will have a social impact regarding the use of physical exercise as a non-pharmacological tool for the mental and physical health older individuals. Trial Registration Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials number RBR-7BC8ZP.
