Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Several methods of sports training are applied to improve physical health in middle-aged and elderly women. Among the emerging ones is resistance exercise, despite little evidence about its effects in this population group. Objective: Explore the effects of resistance exercise on promoting muscle health and reducing cardiovascular risk in middle-aged and elderly women. Methods: A questionnaire on the level of muscle health and cardiovascular risk factors of 100 middle-aged and elderly women was conducted. A total of 20 middle-aged and elderly women were randomly selected as participants, and the experimental group performed resistance exercise training, while the control group performed simple exercise training. Results: In the muscle health indicators of the experimental group, BMI decreased by 0.3%, body fat decreased by 1.3%, waist-to-hip ratio decreased by 0.01, fat decreased by 1.7 kg, lean weight increased by 2.8 kg, and protein decreased by 0.9 kg. The changes in cardiovascular health indicators in the experimental group were greater than those in the control group. Conclusion: Resistance exercise can effectively improve muscle health in middle-aged and elderly women, reducing cardiovascular risk. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Esporte (RBME in its Portuguese form) is an official organ of the Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina do Exercício e do Esporte (SBME) Brazilian Society of Exercise Medicine and Sports) and represents the main promotion resource of the scientific production in the Exercise Sciences and Sports Medicine (SBME) fields in our country. The RBME was launched in 1995 with trimester periodicity and became regularly bi-monthly published with no interruptions from 1999.
RBME is an inter-and multidisciplinary, peer reviewed, Open Access journal which accepts contributions from the national and international scientific community. RBME publishes original articles of high scientific relevance in Exercise and Sports Medicine, review articles, and systematic reviews.
RBME preferably publishes original articles of international interest, not only of regional significance. Its goal is to disseminate the scientific production in the areas of exercise and sports medicine through the publication of original research results and other documents that contribute to the scientific and applied knowlewdge of physical activity, exercise and sports, within the framework of biological sciences and medicina.
Its title abbreviation is Rev Bras Med Esporte, which should be used in references, footnotes and reference subtitles.
