Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the acute effects of a session of static stretching on the glycemic curve in physically inactive and nondiabetic elderly. We evaluated the Glucose Tolerance Test at 0 (fasted 12 h), 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 120 min after intake of 75 g of dextrose, in 16 elderly women in two distinct stages: Baseline Test (BT) without performing stretching and Experiment Test (ET) 7 days after the completion of the stretch. The average blood glucose for 60 min, 90 min and 120 min in ET was lower than in BT, but the differences were not significant (p ≤ 0.05). Whereas as a reference point 30 min, the variation between average blood glucose testing at this time was approximately 15 mg/dL, but significant time 60 min (p = 0.011). A stretching session did not stimulate increase glucose consumption in the population studied.
