Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
It is expected that the aerobic continuous exercise with moderate intensity is able to cause positive changes on the intestinal microbiota in human quantitatively and qualitatively. The increased diversity of intestinal bacteria is associated with an improvement in intestinal health. Besides, it is expected that there will be a increase in butyrate concentration, a substance produced by some groups of bacteria, which is beneficial for the intestinal epithelium.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Its is expected that the exercise improves the circulation of biochemical markers, such as, HDL-c, LDL-c, fasting blood glucose and triglycerides. Also, it is expected that volunteers of intervention group increase their fitness and aerobic capacity (VO2peak).
