Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify the alterations in body weight and body composition related to the inclusion of cafeteria diet and aerobic physical training in different phases of the development. Wistar rats were used and divided in two experimental procedures, being one initiating with cafeteria diet and physical training with animals to the 21 days of life (sedentary cafeteria, SCa21; trained cafeteria, TCa21; sedentary control, SC21 and trained control TC21) and another one with cafeteria diet and physical training initiating to the 60 days of life (sedentary cafeteria, SCa; trained cafeteria, TCa; sedentary control, SC and trained control TC). After the experimental procedure, beyond the body weight, had been collected the periepididymal, retroperitoneal and mesenteric fat pads. The results had demonstrated a direct relation between physical inactivity, cafeteria diet and rise of the weight and fat pads of the studied regions. Also we got a positive reply to the inclusion of the physical training to the 21 days to it compares the group that after initiated physical training the 60 days, however the effect of the alimentary diet is primordial in the maintenance of one adjusted weight and corporal composition.
