- Abstract
Introduction: Studies have related biochemical changes in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and a program of water aerobics is showing as an ad - juvant to improve these conditions. Objective: To identify the effect of a training program in exercises made inside the water (aqua aerobics) on the lipid profile of postmenopausal women. Methods: Thirty-three women were divided into experimental group with 22 volunteers who went aqua aerobics training, and control group with 11 volunteers who did not perform any systematic training. Results: The results of the experimental group, pre- and post-test showed a reduction in the variables LDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol. A decrease in HDL, LDL and total cholesterol was observed in the control group. After the intervention, a reduction in triglycerides and VLDL was also observed in both groups. However, there were found no significant differences in the variables in this study. Conclusion: We conclude that aerobic training in aqua aerobics promoted a reduction in the lipid profile of postmenopausal women.
