O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as alterações metabólicas e antropométricas após a realização de programa de exercício físico domiciliar de baixo volume. No ano escolar de 2007, 95 merendeiras escolares do município de Niterói (Rio de Janeiro/Brasil) foram alocadas aleatoriamente nos seguintes grupos: exercício físico domiciliar (n=47) e controle (n=48). O programa de exercício físico domiciliar consistiu na realização exercícios de moderada intensidade, três vezes na semana, 40 minutos. Variáveis antropométricas foram coletadas na linha de base, aos 4 e 8 meses, sendo as variáveis bioquímicas e o consumo de alimentos foram obtidos na linha de base e aos 8 meses. O grupo de exercícios demonstrou uma maior redução do peso corporal (-0,9 vs. -0,2; p=0,05), tendo o mesmo padrão sido observado para o IMC (-0,1 vs. +0,1; p=0,07), embora sem significância estatística. Não foram observados efeitos do exercício para a circunferência de cintura, perfil lipídico e glicose. Concluindo, uma maior perda de peso foi observada no grupo que realizou o programa de exercícios domiciliares de baixo volume podendo essa estratégia auxiliar no controle do peso corporal mesmo sem alterações para lipídeos e glicose.

Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anthropometric and metabolic changes after a small-volume of home-based exercise. In the school year of 2007, 95 school cooks in the city of Niteroi (Rio de Janeiro/Brazil) were randomly assigned to one of two groups: home-based exercise (n=47) or control group (n=48). The home-based exercise program was performed three times a week, during 40 minutes, at a low-to-moderate intensity. Anthropometric variables were collected at baseline, 4 and 8 months, while fasting blood samples and individual food intake were collected at baseline and 8 months. Energy expenditure was evaluated only at baseline. Home-based exercise group exhibited a greater weight loss (-0.9 vs. -0.2; p=0.05) in comparison with controls during the follow-up and the same pattern was found for BMI (-0.1 vs. +0.1; p=0.07), although without statistical significance. Exercise showed no effects on circumference, lipid profile or glucose. To conclude, a greater weight loss from a small-volume of home-based exercise was achieved in this group of school cooks and this strategy could facilitate weight control even though no differences were observed for lipids and glucose.
