Abstract

ABSTRACT The exacerbated increase of morbidity and mortality due chronic diseases leads to an increase public expenditures for health. The plasma triglyceride post-fed state has been mentioned as a predictor for the formation of the atherosclerotic process with possible progression to cardiovascular disease. In contrast, exercise has become an important strategy for reducing levels of circulating triglycerides by promoting increase of lipoprotein lipase activity. Analyzes the eff ects of light combined physical exercise in metabolic variables in elderly physically active post-prandial women. Twenty elderly women (mean 68.02 ± 9.06 years) who had attend of Active Health Programme / Rio Claro-SP, Brazil per one year, often twice a week. The study was divided into two days and in the fi rst day were collected anthropometric measurements, inquiry dietary and level of habitual activity. The second day consisted of a protocol of light physical activity divided into three parts, stretching, aerobic exercise and resistance exercise. Blood samples were collected before and after workout. A signifi cant reduction in blood glucose due to the combined exercise was observed, but no diff erence in triglycerides concentration before and after workout was found. We conclude that light combined physical exercise can promote reduced serum glucose and maintain the triglycerides concentration in physically active elderly in the fed condition.
