The growth of sedentary lifestyles and the problems associated with this reality, it became necessary the development of physical activity programs to combat the sedentarism. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze different effects of weekly frequency of training on the body composition and physical fitness in pre-menopausal women between 30 and 50 years old during 12 weeks. They were divided in two groups: F3 (3 times/week), 60 minutes of physical activity (n = 9; 45.66 ± 3.96 years); and F2 (2 times / week), 90 minutes of physical activity (n = 7; 44.28 ± 5.31 years). For both groups, it was studied body composition (mass and body fat), body mass index (BMI), flexibility (FLX), muscular endurance for upper body (RML-MS) and abdominal (RML-Ab) and maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) as measured at the beginning and at the end of the exercise program. As a result, the frequency of 2 times/week showed to be more effective than the frequency of 3 times/week due to the improvement of RML-Ab, RML-MS and VO2max.Downloads
