Title: Effect of exercise training and Omega-3 fatty acids on body composition of elderly women Objectives: The aim of this work is to determine the effect of combined aerobic and dynamic strength activity and supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids on body composition in women of senior age over 65 years. Methods: The intervention study included 53 women aged 65-80 years. The intervention lasted 4 months and before and after its onset, women underwent clinical examinations, anthropometry, bioimpedation examinations, AT biopsies, blood samples, DEXA and fitness testing. The intensity of physical activity was 1 hour 3 times a week. Of this, 1 hour was devoted to aerobic activity - Nordic walking and the remaining 2 hours to strength training. The group was also randomly divided into an omega-3 fatty acid moiety and a placebo moiety. Results: The average input and output values and changes in selected body composition indicators measured by INBODY show that exercise had a statistically significant positive effect on total weight, visceral fat and BMI in both groups. In contrast to the Calanus group, there was a statistically significant improvement in the control group also for proteins and total muscle mass. The additive positive effect of Calanem supplementation was not demonstrated for any...
