Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to verify the effects of an online training program on aerobic capacity, quality of life, depressive symptoms and quality of sleep in elderly people with cardiovascular risk factors. A multicomponent training program was applied for 12 weeks and outcomes were assessed before and after the intervention. Twelve elderly people participated (69.08 ± 4.54 years; 41.67% women), with adherence of 49.17%. Worsening in sleep quality was observed (p = 0.016), and no change in other outcomes. In conclusion, the training program possibly helped maintain aerobic capacity, quality of life and depressive symptoms in elderly people with cardiovascular risk factors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
