During aging, genetic and environmental factors carry an increased risk of diseases that facilitate the loss of function. High-intensity resistance training has been shown to lead to health benefits in older adults, however, its use is limited in this population. Recently, hypoxic resistance training (HRT) has been presented as a viable alternative in rehabilitation therapy for older adults, however, information is scarce in this regard. Thus, the objective of this study was to collect current knowledge about HRT in older adults, as well as the benefits for their health. To do this, a selective search was carried out for articles published in the last 6 years on the effects of HRT in older people in the Pubmed database. The search resulted in 227 articles, of which 18 were selected for this review. Three types of training were identified: blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT), resistance...

The practice of intermittent food restriction (IFR) along its variations, is used by individuals with an intentional loss of body mass. There is scientific evidence favorable to this practice; however, studies showing the longterm consequences and their impact on the control of energy homeostasis at the level of the central nervous system (CNS) are insufficient. Considering the increase in its use, as well as in its recommendation and the great controversy existing in the bibliography, the present review aims to show the effects of RAI on the central regulation of energy homeostasis reported in the literature.
