According to the GRADE system , there is very low quality evidence that functional training is better than other interventions to improve cardiovascular parameters .
BACKGROUND Functional training is a new training vision that was prepared from the gesture imitation of daily activities .
Although your use has become popular in clinical practice , the influence of the several cardiorespiratory adjustments performed during the functional training in different population s and conditions is unknown .
So , the aim of this systematic review was to gather information in the literature regarding the influence of functional training on cardiorespiratory parameters .
The effects of aerobic and resistance exercises in obese women
Objective : To compare the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on weight , muscle strength , cardiovascular fitness , blood pressure and mood in obese women who were not on an energy-restricted diet . Design : R and omized , prospect i ve , controlled trial . Setting : Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation , University Hospital . Subjects : Sixty obese women were assigned to one of three groups : aerobic exercise ( n=20 ) , resistance exercise ( n=20 ) and control group ( n=20 ) . Interventions : The aerobic exercise group performed both walking and leg cycle exercise with increasing duration and frequency . The resistance exercise group performed progressive weight-resistance exercises for the upper and lower body . Main outcome measures : Before and after a 12-week period , all subjects were evaluated by anthropometric measurement , rating of mood , cardiorespiratory capacity and maximum strength of trained muscles . Results : After a 12-week training period , subjects in the resistance group showed significant improvement in one-repetition maximum test of hip abductors ( 7.95±3.58 kg ) , quadriceps ( 14±7.18 kg ) , biceps ( 3.37± 2.84 kg ) and pectorals ( 8.75±5.09 kg ) compared with those in the control group ( P<0.001 ) . VO2 max increased ( 0.51±0.40 ) and Beck Depression Scale scores decreased ( -5.40±4.27 ) in the aerobic exercise group compared with the control group , significantly ( P<0.001 ) . Only in hip abductor muscle strength was there a significant increase in the resistance exercise group compared with the aerobic exercise group ( P < 0.05 ) . Conclusion : Both aerobic exercise and resistance exercise result ed in improved performance and exercise capacity in obese women .  While aerobic exercise appeared to be beneficial with regard to improving depressive symptoms and maximum oxygen consumption , resistance exercise was beneficial in increasing muscle strength
