Combined exercise Group
The subjects of the combined training group will undergo the intervention three times a week for eight weeks. The combined group will carry out both resistance and aerobic exercises in the same session. The resistance training will be comprised by ten exercises which will alternate body segments with maximum repetitions in the first set and the lower limit of the repetitions interval in the next sets. Along the training, the number of series will be increased whereas the number of repetitions will be decreased. The intensity of the aerobic exercises will be based on the percentage of the heart rate of the anaerobic threshold on the first weeks and on the speed of the anaerobic and aerobic threshold on the last weeks
