Dear editor, I read with interest the article published by Costa et al.1 The use of statins in cardiometabolic protection promoted by physical training of moderate-intensity in an aquatic environment has been little studied, mainly from the clinical point of view. However, as described by Costa et al.,1 strength training in an aquatic environment combined with statins has been an effective increase in promoting metabolic adaptations and a reduction in lipid levels. The prognostic predictors associated with the risk of […]

Abstract Background: Statin use is highlighted as the most commonly utilized therapy for the treatment of dyslipidemias and can be considered as the most efficient pharmacological intervention for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) reduction. On the other hand, physical training can be considered an efficient and safe non-pharmacological strategy to promote improvements in lipid profile. However, the influence of statins on lipid adaptations arising from water-based training in populations with dyslipidemia is not known. Objectives: To analyze the influence of simvastatin use […]
