ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study evaluated the effect of exercise training on body temperature and clarified the relationship between body temperature and body composition in the elderly.METHODS:
In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 91 elderly participants performed aerobic and anaerobic exercise training twice a week for 2 years. Non-contact infrared thermometer and bioelectrical impedance analysis were performed at baseline and at 2 years.RESULTS:
Mean age of study participants was 81.0 years. The participants were divided into two groups by baseline body temperature of 36.3 °C; lower body temperature group (n = 67) and normal body temperature group (n = 24). Body temperature rose significantly after exercise training in the lower body temperature group (36.04 ± 0.11 °C to 36.30 ± 0.13 °C, p < 0.0001), whereas there was no significant difference in the normal body temperature group (36.35 ± 0.07 °C to 36.36 ± 0.13 °C, p = 0.39). A positive correlation was observed between the amount of change in body temperature and baseline body temperature (r = -0.68, p < 0.0001). Increase in skeletal muscle mass was an independent variable related to the rise in body temperature by the multivariate logistic regression analysis (odds ratio 4.77, 95% confidence interval 1.29-17.70, p = 0.02).CONCLUSIONS:
Exercise training raised body temperature in the elderly, especially those with lower baseline body temperature.
