- CIRCUIT WEIGHT TRAINING OR WALKING EXERCISE IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH MEDICATED DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION Rosilene Andrade Silva Rodrigues Fabrício Azevedo Voltarelli Conceição de Maria Moita Machado de Carvalho Giulia Schauffert Waléria Christiane Rezende Fett Carlos Alexandre Fett Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Aging blood glucose rehabilitation physical fitness BACKGROUND: There are different types of exercises, but the circuit weight training is less prescribed for the elderly in order to corroborate the control of glycaemia and hypertension. OBJECTIVE: To compare the acute and chronic effects of circuit weight training or walking exercises on capillary glucose, physical fitness, and arterial blood pressure of the elderly women. METHODS: Twelve weeks of circuit weight (n = 14) or walking (n = 9) were performed 3 times a week at the intensity of 40 to 60% heart rate, 11 to 13 in the Borg Scale. The elderly patients with medicated hypertension and diabetes (users of ß-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and oral hypoglycemic) were selected. RESULTS: The capillary glucose decreased in both groups in acute and chronic effects of exercise (p ≤ 0.05). The systolic blood pressure increased in acute moment only in the circuit weight (+6 mmHg, p ≤ 0.05) without differences in the diastolic blood pressure. The right handgrip, the balance of right and left legs, the sitting and standing test were improved in walking (p ≤ 0.05), and flexibility in circuit weight (p ≤ 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the left handgrip, subscapularis, lumbar back, and abdominal circumference, three-meters walking under line. There was no difference in the comparison between groups. CONCLUSION: The two types of exercises improve metabolic rehabilitation. Only 12 weeks of the circuit weight training seems to be a short period to induce higher physical performance in elderly women. 2016 artículo científico 2447-2115 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=739780696003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7397 Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.10
