This was an intervention study by means of a physical exercise program, divided each session into aerobic, resistance and stretching activities, over a period of 8 weeks. RESULTS: The PASpós exercise in the intervention group obtained a pre value of 116.4 ± 3.8 and a post of 117.2 ± 3.7, p value 0.52. The PADpós exercise had a pre value of 76.9 ± 2.6, and post 74.6 ± 2.7, p value 0.016. The MMSS force in the intervention group obtained the pre-value 20.9 ± 7.9, and the post-dose of 24.1 ± 8.8, p value 0.008, in the control group, the pre-value was 26 ± 6, and the Powders of 24 ± 6.11, p value 0.018. The strength of LMW in the intervention group obtained a pre-value of 46.6 ± 12.8, and a mean of 56.1 ± 18.7, p value 0.04, in the control group, the pre-value was 65.28 ± 7 , 4, and powders of 56.28 ± 12, p value 0.005. The percentage of Fat in the intervention group obtained the pre value of 26.4 ± 4.9 and post of 25.2 ± 4.7, p value 0.02, in the control group the value of pre was 24.7 ± 3, 8 and the powders of 25.3 ± 3.9, p value 0.00.
