Abstract:

Eim: To evaluate the effects of a mixed protocol of physical exercises on cardiovascular risk (CVR), quality of life and the presence of depressive symptoms in elderly hypertensive patients. Methods: longitudinal, prospective and quasi-experimental study with 48 elderly subjects. A physical exercise protocol was developed for 16 weeks according to American College Sports of Medicine and anthropometric variables (weight, height, body mass index and waist circumference) and biochemical (total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c; triglycerides) were evaluated. Results: The mean age was 66.5 ± 4.8 years. The frequent CVR factors were dyslipidemia (58.3%) and sedentary lifestyle (45.8%). After intervention, there was reduction in mean values of total and LDL-cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol levels. The CVR and global risk score decreased significantly. The frequency of depressive symptoms decreased25% to 4.2%. Improved was observed in SF-36 domains: physical, health and vitality. Conclusion: The mixed protocol of physical exercises constituted a possible alternative, low cost and effective in the improvement of the lipid profile and the quality of life related to the health of the elderly of this research.
