The Comparison of Traditional and Cluster Resistance Band Training on Hepato-metabolic Indices and Physical Performance of Elderly Woman

Introduction: Increased age is associated with metabolic diseases such as fatty liver due to its associated with decreased physical activity. The aim of the present study was to Compare of traditional and cluster resistance band training on hepato-metabolic indices and physical performance of elderly woman. Method: In this single-blind randomized clinical trial, 66 elderly women 65 to 80 years old were randomly divided into three groups of traditional training (n = 25), cluster training (n = 25) and control (n = 16). The training groups underwent the same elastic-band resistance training with different rest intervals for 8 weeks (3 sessions per week). Functional tests and blood samples were taken before and after the protocol. One-way ANOVA was used for intergroup comparisons and correlated T-test for intergroup comparisons. Results: The results showed no significant differences in weight (P = 0.296), body mass index (P = 0.412), height (P = 0.845), triglyceride (P = 0.166), and AST (P = 0.166), ALT (P = 0.557), GGT (P = 0.774), ALT (P = 0.774), FLI (P = 0. 135), FSI (P = 0.445) and HSI (P = 0.545). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it seems that the difference in rest intervals in traditional and clustered resistance training has no effect on body composition, liver enzymes and new fatty liver markers.
