Description
Summary:Abstract Introduction: Given the practicality and low cost of elastic devices, a comparison with conventional devices may be able to quantify gains from both tools for further conclusions. Objective: Compare the effect of resistance training with elastic (tubes and resistance band) and conventional (weight machines and dumbbells) devices on body composition. Method: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis. The PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, PEDro and CENTRAL databases were searched from the earliest records to July 25, 2018. Data were described in standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results: Four studies were included. The results of the meta-analysis did not show superiority among the analyzed methods for the variables investigated (SMD = -2.04, 95% CI -7.56, 3.48, p < 0.00001, lean mass: SMD = 0.28, 95% CI -0.29, 0.85, p = 0.97, body fat: SMD = 2.77, 95% CI -0.05, 5.59, p = 0.92, body mass: SMD = 1.22, 95% CI -0.29, 2.74, p = 0.11). Conclusion: The results of the meta-analysis showed superiority of outcome from training in conventional devices only for the variable fat mass. For the other variables, no statistically significant differences were found. Elastic resistance can promote similar outcomes to resistance in different population profiles and from various protocols on variables related to body composition. Resumo Introdução: Tendo em vista a praticidade e o baixo custo dos dispositivos elásticos, uma comparação com dispositivos convencionais (halteres e máquinas de peso) pode ser capaz de quantificar os resultados observados para posteriores conclusões sobre eventual tendência de superioridade verificada entre os métodos investigados. Objetivo: Comparar o efeito do treinamento resistido em dispositivos elásticos (tubos e faixa elástica) e convencionais (máquinas de peso e halteres) sobre a composição corporal. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática e meta-análise. Foram pesquisadas as bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, PEDro e CENTRAL desde os registros mais antigos até 25 de julho de 2018. Os dados foram descritos em standardized mean difference (SMD) com intervalo de confiança de 95% (95% CI). Resultados: Quatro estudos foram incluídos. Os resultados da meta-análise não demonstraram superioridade entre os métodos analisados para as variáveis investigadas (massa gorda: SMD= -2.04; 95% CI 7.56, 3.48; p < 0.00001; massa magra: SMD = 0.28; 95% CI -0.29, 0.85; p = 0.97; gordura corporal: SMD = 2.77; 95%
