Metabolic Syndrome (MS) has a worldwide prevalence and studies have shown that there is a direct relationship with the increase of obesity, sedentary behavior, changes in eating habits and lifestyle. Treatment includes regular physical exercises, such as Functional Training (FT), which can attenuate / ameliorate the physiological changes due to MS and that accentuate after middle age, especially in women. Thus, the objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of a FT program on middle-aged women with MS. This research was characterized as quantitative, descriptive and experimental type. The first manuscript aimed to investigate the effects of a FT program on biochemical and morphological variables of middle-aged women with MS. In this first study, the sample consisted of 30 middle-aged women with MS divided into Control Group (n = 15) and Training Group (n = 15). The second manuscript aimed to investigate the effects of a FT program on hemodynamic, hepatic and renal variables in middleaged women with MS. The sample was composed of 17 middle-aged women. Both had as inclusion criteria, age over 40 years present a medical statement and have MS diagnosis. The intervention was based on the CORE 360 ° FT method, which was performed three times a week, with sessions of 60 minutes, during 14 weeks. Morphological, biochemical, hemodynamic and functional variables were evaluated at the beginning (week zero) and at the end (week fourteen) of the training period. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to evaluate the normality of the variables, the Student t test for parametric data and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test for non-parametric data. Also, the SPSS 15.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences, Chicago, USA) was used and the statistical significance was set at p <0.05. The FT caused slight improvements on morphological variables, such as preservation of lean mass and bone mineral content, as well as small decreases in body fat indicators. There were small positive changes on glucose, insulin and Total Cholesterol, and there were no significant results on the biochemical variables indicative of hepatic and renal diseases. Furthermore, FT implied statistically significant improvements in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in middle-aged women with MS and small improvements in HR and VO2max. It is concluded that FT is a good tool for the control and treatment of MS in middle-aged women, since it significantly reduced DBP, improved glycemic and lipid markers, and generated positive changes on morphological variables,
