Resistance Training Contributes to Variability in Heart Rate and Quality of the Sleep in Elderly Women Without Comorbidities. JEPonline 2015;18(6):112-123. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of sleep and heart rate variability in elderly women without comorbidities after engaging in a resistance training (RT) program. The study sample consisted of 16 elderly, divided into two groups: Sedentary Group (SG, n = 9) and Resistance Training Group (RTG, n = 7). The subjects underwent assessment of blood pressure (BP), Body Mass Index (BMI), heart rate variability (HRV), and sleep quality (PSQI questionnaire). The findings in this study indicate that elderly women without comorbidities who engage in resistance training have lower sympathovagal balance and better sleep quality compared to sedentary elderly women without comorbidities. However, interestingly, these variables do not appear to be associated.
