摘要：The aim of this study was investigate the effects of a new combined training approach on components of the functional autonomy of healthy elderly women. The study sample consisted of 8 sedentary elderly individuals, mean age 67 ± 8 yrs, fasting blood glucose 96 ± 7.8 mg•dL ~(-1) , triglycerides 94.42 ± 36.09 mg•dL~(-1) , high-density lipoprotein (HDL) 57.21 ± 15.66 mg•dL ~(-1) , low-density lipoprotein (LDL) 103.07 ± 25.20 mg•dL ~(-1) , total cholesterol 179.14 ± 22.40 mg•dL~(-1) , and mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure values 125.28 ± 8.4 mmHg and 72.57 ± 10.1 mmHg, respectively. The protocol of combined training consisted of ~18 min of resistance exercises combined with 26 min of aerobic exercise, performed interspersed in the same session, for 8 wks (3 times•wk ~(-1) ) with a 24-hr interval rest between each session. The results showed a significant improvement in components of the functional autonomy in healthy elderly women. This training approach appears to be an effective non-pharmacological strategy to improving the components of functional autonomy in the healthy elderly women.
