Abstract	26 Purpose: To study the effects of a progressive resistance and balance (PRB) exercise 27 program on body composition with regard to its associations with physical function 28 among individuals approximately one year after stroke. 29 Method: A total of 43 individuals from the community (age 73 years (SD 5.0), 73% 30 men) were randomly assigned either to an intervention group (IG, n=20) that received a 31 PRB exercise program twice weekly for three months or a control group (CG, n=23). The 32 primary objectives were to correlate potential changes in the fat-free mass (FFM (kg) and 33 FFM index (FFMI) (kg/m 2 ), and fat-mass (FM (kg), (%) of body weight, FMI (kg/m 2 )), 34 as measured by bioelectrical impedance analyses (Tanita®), with physical function, 35 including walking capacity; i.e., the 6 Min Walk Test; 6MWT, balance and mobility. 36 Results: At three months, a complete case analyses revealed a significant reduction in fat 37 mass per cent in the intervention group when compared with the control group; -1.5 vs. 38 0.13 % respectively; effect size, ES=0.62 standard error (SE), 0.80; P=0.0.39). No 39 between-group differences in FFM were observed. There was a between-group difference 40 in the 6MWT (25 vs. -10 m) at three months in favor of the IG (r=0.47, P=0.04). Changes 41 in FMI were associated with improved walking capacity in the IG. 42 Conclusions: Three months of PRB training might reduce fat mass in older adults 43 approximately one year after stroke. This exploratory study indicated an association 44 between improvements in physical performance and changes in body fat mass. 45 46 47
