Exercising women had significantly lower pulse wave velocity (7.4 vs 8.4; p = 0.001), lower central systolic blood pressure (119.0 vs 129.5; p = 0.037), and lower systemic vascular resistance index (1972.9 vs 2110.5; p = 0.026) compared to controls.

Why the study?

Physical effort reduces cardiovascular disease risk, but cardiovascular status in postmenopausal women after several years of regular amateur training required assessment.

Does regular moderate continuous aerobic exercise training improve hemodynamic parameters in postmenopausal women?

Population

55 generally healthy females aged 50-70 years

Comparison

Senior exercise group members vs control group

Overview

Moderate exercise was associated with better hemodynamics in postmenopausal women; leaves open causal benefit and need for randomized confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does regular moderate continuous aerobic exercise training improve hemodynamic parameters in postmenopausal women?

P
Population
55 generally healthy postmenopausal females aged 50-70 years
I
Intervention
Several years of regular amateur training (moderate continuous aerobic exercise training)
C
Comparator
Control group of generally healthy postmenopausal females not participating in the senior exercise group
O
Outcome
Cardiovascular status assessed by parameters of blood flow, vascular resistance, myocardial contractility, thoracic fluid content, central blood pressure, augmentation index, and pulse wave velocitysurrogate

Regular moderate continuous aerobic exercise training is associated with improved hemodynamic parameters and reduced arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women.
