Key result
Circuit weight and walking training sessions of similar energy cost produced similar blood pressure and heart rate responses in middle-aged overweight and normal-weight females.
Why the study?
Does circuit weight training elicit different circulatory responses compared to energy-matched walking training in middle-aged overweight females?
Does circuit weight training elicit different circulatory responses compared to energy-matched walking training in middle-aged overweight females?
Circuit weight training and walking sessions of similar energy cost elicit comparable and acceptable cardiovascular responses in middle-aged overweight and normal-weight females.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Comparable acute responses support hemodynamic safety of circuit training; leaves open long-term adaptations in overweight females.
Jürimäe et al. (2000) studied Overweight (n=33). Circuit weight training and aerobic walking vs. Normal body weight controls was evaluated on Circulatory responses (blood pressure and heart rate). Circuit weight and walking training sessions of similar energy cost produced similar blood pressure and heart rate responses in middle-aged overweight and normal-weight females.
