Introduction: Menopause is responsible for significant changes in the organism, which can lead to important reductions in lean body mass and development of obesity, especially central, and consequently, the onset of dyslipidemia. The association of concurrent training (aerobic and resistance training) and supplementation of taurine may be an usefull strategy to minimize the effects of menopause on body composition and lipid profile. Objective: To investigate the effect of concurrent training and taurine supplementation on body composition and lipid profile in postmenopausal women. Methods: Sample consisted of 43 women aged 50 to 77 years, all postmenopausal, residents in the city of Presidente Prudente - SP. Body composition were assessed by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), total and segmental, and analysis of the biochemical profile: total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL-c) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL-c), triglycerides and fasting glucose. The exercise intervention period lasted 16 weeks. The sample was assigned into four groups: control (N=13), taurine (N=8), Taurine+Training (N=13) and Placebo+Training (N=9). The supplemented groups received 1.5 g/day of capsulised taurine. The concurrent training was performed three times per week on nonconsecutive days, during 80 minutes (50 minutes of resistance training followed by 30 minutes of aerobic training) per section. The statistical analyses were made by One-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with post hoc Bonferroni. All statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL) and statistical significance set at 5 %. Results: Groups Taurine+Training and Placebo+Training presented, after the intervention, lower percentage of total fat and percentage of trunk fat, and higher fat-free mass. Regarding the lipid profile, the group Taurine+Training showed lower total cholesterol and LDL-c and the group...
