Key result
Aging attenuates the heart rate and left ventricular contractile response to exercise, reducing maximal cardiac output and exercise capacity, though aerobic training can improve these parameters.
Why the study?
How does aging affect autonomic control of the circulation during exercise, and what are the effects of aerobic exercise training in older humans?

Aerobic training may help preserve exercise capacity with aging; leaves open optimal regimens targeting autonomic control.
How does aging affect autonomic control of the circulation during exercise, and what are the effects of aerobic exercise training in older humans?
Aging impairs maximal exercise capacity through autonomic and ventricular changes, but aerobic exercise training can partially mitigate these effects by improving left ventricular performance.
SEALS et al. (1994) conducted a review in Aging and exercise. Aging and exercise was evaluated. Aging attenuates the heart rate and left ventricular contractile response to exercise, reducing maximal cardiac output and exercise capacity, though aerobic training can improve these parameters.
