Efeito do treinamento do Mat Pilates no perfil lipídico e glicêmico em mulheres não obesas na pós menopausa

Abstract

Physical exercise may provide improvements in the lipid and glycemic profile, through adaptations generated by the chronic effect of the training, but this response may be dependent on the type of training. Objectives: to verify the chronic effect of training with Pilates Mat exercises in lipid and glycemic profile responses in non-obese women in postmenopausal women. Material and methods: 47 non-obese postmenopausal women (age: 57.9 ± 4.7 years and BMI: 27.02 ± 3.61kg / m²) participated in the study, where they underwent Mat Pilates training three times a week for 12 weeks. Venous blood samples were collected fasting in the pre and post intervention period for the determination of lipid, glycemia and hemoglobin levels (HbA1c). Student's t test for dependent samples was used to compare pre and post intervention variables. Results: There were no significant differences in triglyceride and cholesterol levels, but a reduction in fasting glycemia was observed in HbA1C levels. Conclusion: The 12-week training program in Mat Pilates reduced glycated hemoglobin but was not able to alter the lipid profile in non-obese women after menopause.
