Introduction: The decline in functional capacity in the elderly is related to neuromuscular and metabolic changes, making concurrent training (CT) a promising option. However, there is still a lack of investigations analyzing its real effects on multisystem responses directed to the daily activities of untrained older women. Objective: To verify the effects of concurrent training on the functional fitness of untrained older women. Methods: Forty older women completed eight weeks of training, being randomized into two groups: Concurrent training (CT: n = 26; 66.54 ± 5.76 years) and Control Group (GC: n=14; 68.29±5.97 years). Functional fitness was verified by means of the following tests: Test putting on and taking off the shirt; Lift off the ground; Gallon-jug shelf-transfer; Time-up-go; Sit to stand and Walking speed in 10 m. Results: At the end of the intervention, the CT showed statistically significant improvements in all variables in relation to the initial values. When compared to the CG, the CT promoted statistically significant adaptations in the variables: 1-Test on and off the shirt (CT: 14.38 ± 2.60 vs CG: 15.52 ± 2.79 sec; ∆%: 7.9; p ≤ 0.05); 2-Lifting from the ground (CT: 2.99 ± 0.70 vs CG: 3.72 ± 0.76 sec.; ∆%: 24.4; p ≤ 0.01); 3-Walking speed in 10 meters (CT: 5.38 ± 0.62 vs. CG: 6.01±1.02 sec; ∆%:11.7; p ≤ 0.02); 4- Time up go (CT: 6.06 ± 0.67 vs. CG: 6.50 ± 0.98 sec.; ∆%: 7.2; p ≤ 0.05); 5-Sit to stand (CT: 5.34 ± 0.95 vs. CG: 6.20 ± 1.54 sec; ∆%: 16.1; p ≤ 0.03); 6-Gallon-jug shelf-transfer (CT: 9.67 ± 1.29 vs. CG: 11.31 ± 1.94 sec.; ∆%: 17.5; p ≤ 0.01). Conclusion: Concurrent training has been shown to be effective in improving functional fitness in untrained older women.
