The present study aimed to analyze the impact of a multicomponent training (MCT)
program in a group of non-active older adults, comparing two different dose distributions. Twentyfour individuals, assigned to two groups, completed 15 weeks of MCT (2 days/week). The continuous
group (CMCT; n = 14, 9 females; 71.07 ± 5.09 years) trained for 60 min/session in the morning. The
accumulated group (AMCT; n = 10, 5 females; 72.70 ± 3.59 years) performed the same exercises,
volume, and intensity, but the training was distributed twice per day (30 min in the morning; 30 more
in the afternoon). Bonferroni post hoc comparisons revealed significant (p < 0.001) and similar large
improvements in both groups in lower limb strength (five times sit-to-stand test: CMCT, 12.55 ± 2.83
vs. 9.44 ± 1.72 s; AMCT, 10.37 ± 2.35 vs. 7.46 ± 1.75 s). In addition, there were large gains in
preferred walking speed and instrumental daily life activities, which were higher for CMCT and
AMCT, respectively (in this order: 1.00 ± 0.18 vs. 1.44 ± 0.26 m/s and 1.09 ± 0.80 vs. 1.58 ± 0.18 m/s;
33.07 ± 2.88 vs. 36.57 ± 1.65 points and 32.80 ± 1.93 vs. 36.80 ± 0.92 points); improvements in
cardiorespiratory fitness, now moderate for CMCT (474.14 ± 93.60 vs. 529.64 ± 82.76 m) and large for
AMCT (515.10 ± 20.24 vs. 589.60 ± 40.38 m); and medium and similar enhancements in agility in both
groups (TUG test: CMCT: 7.49 ± 1.11 vs. 6.77 ± 1.16 s; AMCT: 6.84 ± 1.01 vs. 6.18 ± 0.62 s). None of
the protocols had an impact on the executive function, whereas health-related quality of life showed
a trend to significance in the whole sample only (EQindex overall sample, p = 0.062; d = 0.48 CMCT;
d = 0.34 AMCT). Regardless of the type of dose distribution, starting multicomponent training
improves physical function in non-active older adults, but does not improve cognitive function at
mid-term. Because both forms of MCT showed similar compliance, slightly positive differences in
accumulated strategies may indicate some benefits related to breaking afternoon sedentary behaviors,
which deserves further research in longer and larger interventions. The mixed nature of MCT
suggests accumulative group interventions may be a promising approach to address sedentary aging [-]
