Objectives: To assess the effects of a resistance training program for older adult women's functional autonomy and body composition. Method: A total of 13 volunteer women aged 55±5,1 years participated in this study. Functional autonomy and body composition were assessed. The linear training program lasted for three months with 65, 70 and 75% intensity with 10 maximum repetitions. Results: Statistical improvement in fat percentage (∆% = -6,92%, p=0,04) and the WHR index (∆% = -3,44%, p<0,001) was confirmed. In addition, statistical improvement in functional autonomy was observed in the tests: POTOS (∆% = - 36.9%, p<0,001); 10mW (∆% = -8,9%, p= 0,01); RSP (∆% = -16,7%, p = 0,002); RCWH (∆% = -16,5%, p<0,001); and in the GDLAM index (∆% = - 14.3%, p<0.001). Conclusion: The resistance training showed positive effects on older adult women's functional capacity and body composition.
