ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evalute the effects of supplementation of coconut oil associated with a physical exercise program on body composition and lipid profile in normolipid eutrophic women. The sample was composed of 20 women randomized divided into two groups, supplemented exercise group with 13 mL/day of coconut oil (GES, n= 10) and unsuppemented exercie group with coconut oil (GEU), n= 10). Perimeters measurements of central adiposity, fat (%), fat mass, lean mass, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and triglycerides concentrations were evaluated in the beginning and in the final of 12 weeks of intervention. For intragroup and intergroup comparisons was used dependentes and independentes sample t-test. The results showed that 12 weeks of intervention modified the central adiposity in the GES group, decreased 2,6% the waist cincunference compared to GEU group (p<0.05). The fat (%), fat mass and lean mass did not change after 12 weeks of intervention between GES and GEU groups (p>0.05). In the comparation of lipid profile between groups, GES group decreased 3% the LDL-c while the GEU group increased 13.7% the total cholesterol and 14.2% the LDL-c concentration (p<0.05). In conclusion, coconut oil associated with a physical exercise program did not modify the body composition and attenuate the changes in the lipid profile in normolipid eutrophic women.
