Motivation for the study. The motivation for this research arises from the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus around the world. Despite their impact, there is a gap in knowledge regarding non-pharmacological interventions in older adults aimed at improving the metabolic profile of these patients. Main findings. Our results show a significant improvement in glucose, blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, HDL, and triglyceride levels after the aerobic exercise intervention. In addition, no significant adverse effects were observed. Public health implications. Physical exercise is an affordable and globally available strategy. It improves the metabolic profile of older adult patients with metabolic syndrome.
