Nine weeks of combined training improve functional and morphological outcomes in trained older people with cardiometabolic risk factors.

Background: The study is characterized as a single group experiment, with the aim of verifying the responses of functional capacity and body composition, after a combined training program with undulating periodization, of low cost and easy applicability, in volunteers with cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods: Experimental study carried out with individuals of both sexes, with cardiometabolic risk factors, members of a Cardiorespiratory Rehabilitation Program (PROCOR) of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). A combined physical training program (aerobic and strength) with load training progression was used, performed at a frequency of three weekly sessions, on alternate days, for nine weeks and using shin guards, elastic bands or just body weight.

Blood Pressure and Blood Glucose Responses to Combined Exercise Sessions of Different Intensities in Individuals with Cardiovascular Risk Factors.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to verify the acute effects of blood pressure and blood glucose after two sessions of combined exercise sessions performed at two levels of intensity in trained individuals with cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods: Eighteen individuals (66.22 ± 8.
