Summary

Aging is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Physical exercise is recognized as an excellent strategy to prevent cardiovascular diseases and cognitive aspects, generating healthier elderly people. The beneficial effects of physical training seem to be greater when performed:

* In hypoxic conditions (i.e. when the amount of oxygen in the air is decreased as at altitude).
* With intermittent blood flow restriction (by inflating pneumatic cuffs around the thighs to a pressure that restricts blood flow). This equipment is harmless.
* With eccentric training (resisting against the movement of the pedal of a bicycle rather than pushing it).

The purpose of this study is then to evaluate whether moderate intensity intermittent training can induce similar or greater effects on cardiovascular health when combined with intermittent hypoxia, intermittent blood flow restriction or eccentric training.
