Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of consumption of green tea extract on weight loss in practicing resistance exercise. The sample comprised 14 individuals practicing resistance exercise, three (3) timesper week for sixty (60) minutes. The participants who comprised the control group received placebo capsules composed of talc and pharmaceutical group received capsules of green tea extract, Camellia sinensis (green tea), the amount of 1.500 mg daily. We evaluated the weight, circumference, skinfold thickness and percentage of total body fat before and after two (2) months of study. Of 14 participants, 09 were eutrophic with an average BMI of 22.6 kg / m² (± 1.6), 05 overweight with a mean BMI of 27.7 kg / m² (± 1.3) and 01 obese grade I with a BMI of 31.0 kg / m². The percentage of fat found in the women studied were above average in the control group and the green tea group found very high values. There was no significant change in mean weight and total body fat percentage, comparing the values of the beginning and end of the study, both for the control group as for the green tea group. We observed a small reduction of skin folds in green tea group, but we can not say that was significant. Based on the study that was done, it is concluded that further studies are needed to assess weight change and body composition through the use of extracts of green tea in practicing resistance exercise.
