Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of circuit resistance training (CRT) on blood biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in older women. Nineteen physically independent older women (≥ 60 years) were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: control (CG, n = 9) and CRT (n = 10). The CRT performed a resistance exercise program for 12 weeks, with 10 exercises: unipedal balance, squat, bench press, seated row, triceps push-down, preacher curl, shoulder adduction, throw medicine ball into the floor, stationary run, and abdominal isometric contraction, with three sets per exercise. Anthropometry, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c), glucose were measured. Main effect of time (p < 0.05) was observed for total cholesterol (-9.9%), LDL-c (-16.1%), VLDL-c (-15.9%) and HDL-c (+10.2%) in the CRT. The composite Z-score was reduced significantly for the CRT group but not for CG.  The 12 weeks of CRT were effective for reducing total cholesterol, LDL-c, VLDL-c, triglycerides and increase HDL-c. In addition, the decrease in composite Z-score suggests that CRT can reduce cardiovascular disease risk in older women.
