Abstract

The objective was to verify changes in lipids and glucose levels of trained rats supplemented with maltodextrin. Materials and Methods: The training protocol consisted of 8 weeks of continuous swimming pattern (60min.dia-1) or intermittent (2 periods of 30 minutes, with an interval of 10 minutes), with overloads corresponding to 5% and 10% of body weight, respectively. For 37 days the animals were supplemented with a daily dose of 0.48 g.kg-1 maltodextrin dissolved in water or pure water. Results: Aerobic exercise caused a significant increase in blood glucose levels. The exercises and maltodextrin did not cause changes in lipid profile. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise gave rise in blood glucose levels, without causing hypoglycemia.
