Introduction: The Public Exercise Guidance Program (PROEF) facilitates adherence to physical activity. Men are less likely to seek these services, despite being more susceptible to chronic diseases. Objective: To evaluate the effects of PROEF interventions on hemodynamic and metabolic variables in men. Methods: Eight men (65.5 ± 13.3 years) were assessed before and after 1 year of adherence to PROEF. Three sessions/week were applied: walking (~30 min, 3x/week), exercises with elastic resistance for upper limbs (1x) and interval exercises with elastic resistance (1x). A paired t-test and effect size (ES) were used to compare pre- and post-effects. Results: There was a reduction in body mass, BMI, waist circumference, and LDL cholesterol (P < 0.05); and an increase in HDL (P≤0.05). SBP and DBP decreased 10.8 and 4.9 mmHg (P > 0.05; ES – 0.54 and 0.45). Conclusion: One year of intervention in PROEF improved the hemodynamic, metabolic, and anthropometric parameters of middle-aged and older men.
