The C-reactive protein (CRP) is a plasma protein produced by the liver, which mainly operates in the acute phase response that is a body's response to inflammation process or an injury. Therefore, it is very important that tests may be done to determine the concentration of CRP in the bloodstream, in order to know some kind of injury or inflammation in the body. The eccentric exercises have been studied to see if they cause changes in inflammatory markers such as CRP. Randomly it was chosen 73 elderly who were sedentary and overweight. The elderly women were subjected to eccentric strength training through the leg extension machine . The maximum load used in the practice had been determined previously and pre-training and post-training examinations were conducted to determine if there were changes in the level of CRP, and the collection post-training were conducted at intervals of 0 and 3 hours. As results of the total elderly chosen : 38 elderly (about 52,02%) showed a reduction in the concentration of CRP, 25 elderly (34,24%) showed an increase and 10 elderly (13,69 %). This work can’t set the eccentric training is an alternative for elderly.
