Abstract

Little is known about the number of sessions required to stabilize the maximum load in 10 repetitions in untrained older adults. Objective: The objective of the study was to verify the reproducibility of the 10 MR test in women over 60 years of age who have no previous experience with strength training. Method: Twenty-two elderly women (67.73 ± 5.43 years) participating only in the Prev Quedas gymnastics program performed the 10 MR test-retest sessions in four exercises: extension chair, triceps in the pulley, flexor table, and biceps curl. The Prev Quedas program is an extension program that offers physical activities to the public of all ages free of charge to contribute to the prevention of falls. One-way ANOVA tests with Bonferroni post hoc, Bland-Altman plot, and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with a 95% confidence interval were used. Results: Reproducibility levels were excellent in all exercises, varying from 0.83 to 0.95, with no significant difference between sessions. The agreement between the test-retest sessions was classified as good for all exercises. The literature shows a lack regarding the reproducibility of the 10 MR tests, mainly for the elderly. However, the reproducibility data of the present study agree with those referring to the 1 MR tests applied to young adults. Conclusion: Based on the findings presented, there seems to be a need for 2 evaluation sessions to stabilize the load in 10 maximum repetitions for untrained elderly women.
