5. Conclusions
With the present experiment results, it is possible to accept that the variables evaluated here are interdependent since the effects caused by IT in both training groups were similar. This reinforces the hypothesis of the high integration of the hemodynamic, autonomic and cardiorespiratory systems. In elderly individuals, responses resulting from different exercises are more discrete, as there is a possible resistance of the entire system because of the decrease in physiological efficiency due to the aging process. However, IT (using walking as an exercise) can be an essential strategy in training prescription for conditional improvement of cardioprotective function variables in physically active and healthy older people. However, other studies are suggested to establish the efficiency of this method for cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory variables in the elderly.
