Efeitos na taxa glicolítica através da prática regular do treinamento funcional e da musculação por pessoas da terceiraidade na cidade de Palmeiras de Goiás - Go

Abstract

Around the world, the ratio of people over 60 years has grown quickly. This process can turn physiological changes of aging into pathological conditions. The current study was developed aiming at analyzing the improvement in glycemic rates through monitoring data before and after regular physical activity of resistance functional training. Interventionist research study, performed with the elderly over 60 years, residents of the city of Palmeiras de Goiás – GO, functional training pratictioners. Fifteen people participated in this study, of which 14 were female and 1 were male, with a mean age of 60 to 75 years. Considering the results of the tests, there was a decrease in the participants glycemic rates of 57.2%, and in 42.8% of them, there was an increase in glycemia. We conclude that the practice of both training, resisted and functional, brings benefits in the glycolytic pathway. Key words: elderly, training, glycemic indexes, health improvement.
