摘要:This study was designed to investigate the effects of a circuit training program on the body composition of adult women. A total of 19 women, aged 22 to 55 years and divided into an experimental and a control group, completed the protocol. The training program lasted 12 weeks and included 16 exercise stations (eight neuromuscular and eight cardiorespiratory exercises) at an intensity of from 60 to 85% of maximum FC and making a total of 30 minutes of physical activity. The results demonstrated that both fat mass and body fat percentage were reduced in the experimental group after the intervention period. It was concluded that the 30-minute program was effective at reducing the body fat of these women and may be useful for people living in urban centers who do not have time to exercise.
