The aim of this study was to verify if a moving programme based on walking may influence aerobic fitness and body composition in female seniors. The exercise intensity (min 90% of walking) at a level of 50 to 70% VO 2peak (HR ranged from 65 to 85 % of HR peak ) was used in a group of healthy senior women (n=53, age=68.7±5.0years, BM=69.9±7.9kg, height=161.0±2.8cm, %BF=37.5±5.1%, VO 2peak .kg -1=25.9±4.3ml.kg -1.min -1). Control group were senior women without any regular physical activity (26, 68.9±4.8years, 70.3±8.1kg, 160.3±2.0cm, 38.4±5.7%, 24.2±3.4ml.kg -1 .min -1 ). Exercise time ranged between 90-250min per week (156.8±48.9min). Walking time ranged between 82-233 min (142.8±45.7min). The energy output was in range from 2675kJ to 7740kJ (3970±960kJ) per week. After 6 months of training BM increased (0.8±1.7kg; NS), %BF decreased (0.6±1.5%; NS), and BCM increased (10.0±2.3%; p<0.01). VO 2peak increased by 8.0±3.3%; (p <0.01). Similarly, the maximum speed of running increased by 7.8±1.5%; (p <0.01) compared to the baseline measurements. In non-active group we did not found any significant changes in all followed variables in the same time period. We may conclude that a 6-month exercise program based on continuous walking that produced an energy expenditure of 3970kJ during a week, is useful for the improvement of AF and BC in senior women.
