Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efect of swimming training (T) on the renal system and body composi‐
tion parameters in young animals treated with a high sucrose diet (SUD) during 12 weeks.
Results: The SUD impaired the physical performance, increased the body adiposity index (BAI), Lee index (LI) and ret‐
roperitoneal adipose tissue (RAT) weight, plasma creatinine and number renal cells nuclei, decreased urinary volume
and urinary creatinine excretion besides creatinine clearance. The T reversed the increased the BAI, LI, RAT weight,
plasma and urinary creatinine, creatinine clearance and number renal cells nuclei in addition to promoting decrease
in urinary protein excretion. This study found that eight weeks of swimming physical training protected renal function
and restored normal glomerular fltration rate (GFR) values. Swimming training also contributed to prevention of the
onset of a renal infammatory process and caused a decrease in the risk of development of obesity promoted by SUD
decreasing the body composition parameters (BAI, LI, and RAT weight).
