Abstract
This analysis was conducted to study the effect of a 1-yr moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program on serum lipoproteins among overweight/obese postmenopausal women. We randomized 173 sedentary (VO2max = 20.2 mL.kg(-1).min(-1)), overweight/obese women (body mass index (BMI) 25.0-42.0 kg.m(-2) or body fat > 33% if BMI 24.0-25.0) aged 50-75 yr, not using hormone therapy, living in the Seattle area, to an exercise intervention or stretching control group. The exercise intervention included facility and home-based exercise (45 min, 5 d.wk(-1) of moderate-intensity sports or recreational exercise). Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were determined by chemical assay; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was then calculated. Of the 173 women, 170 (98.3%) completed the study with exercisers averaging 176 (SD 91) min.wk(-1) of moderate- to vigorous-intensity (60%-75% HRmax) exercise, expending approximately 3828 kJ.wk(-1) (SD 2053). Exercisers, compared with stretchers, significantly increased their VO2max (+11%, P<0.001) and lost more body weight (-1.4 kg, P < 0.05), DEXA-% total body fat (-1.0, P < 0.005), L4-5 computed tomography intraabdominal fat (-8.6 cm2, P < 0.05) and subcutaneous abdominal fa...Continue Reading
