The Clinical Utility of Resistance Training for Improving Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Post-Menopausal Women

NCT03752060 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 68

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Given the heightened cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in post-menopausal women, studies are needed to explore novel, feasible methods for reducing risk in this population. Based on prior data, primarily in other populations, progressive resistance training is a promising candidate. This project will test the effectiveness of a practical, progressive resistance training regimen for lowering numerous CVD risk factors compared to both aerobic training and no exercise in post-menopausal women.

Conditions

  • Cardiovascular Risk Factor
  • Menopause Related Conditions
  • Neuromuscular Function
  • Aerobic Capacity
  • Inflammation

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Resistance Exercise

Women assigned to the resistance exercise training group will complete progressive, full-body resistance exercise 3 times per week for 16 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Aerobic Exercise

Women assigned to the aerobic exercise training group will complete progressive, aerobic exercise 5 times per week for 16 weeks. The aerobic training will progress first in duration, and then in intensity.
