All of them underwent physical examination before the study and had already participated in strength training programs before this study. All 10 men selected concluded the study. Although 15 women were selected and began the training program, 5 were excluded: 3 reported episodes of pain in the knee joint during training sessions, and 2 of them could not conclude the training program for personal reasons. Therefore, the final data refers to 10 women.
