Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a mixed six weeks training on the physical condition in young women with overweight. The sample was 20 women (18.55 ± 1.09 years, 63.47 ± 12.25 kg of mass and 161.75 ± 7.74 cm tall). Training is conducted during six weeks, three times a week one time from 40-50 min. Before and after the program was evaluated: maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), maximal dynamic strength (bench press, leg press, front and triceps jalon curl), local muscular endurance ( bench press and leg press) and hamstring flexibility. There was an increase of VO

2max (7%); maximal dynamic strength (22% - 32%); local muscular endurance (49% - 87%) and hamstring flexibility (10%). We conclude that the mixed training of 6 weeks duration in overweight young women leads to improvements in functional parameters studied, thereby impacting on the improvement of health.
