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.

抗阻运动对中老年妇女身体健康的影响

摘要:介绍几种运动训练方法在改善中老年妇女身体健康中的应用。阻力运动是新兴的运动之一，尽管几乎没有证据表明它对这一人群的影响。目的:探讨阻力运动对促进中老年妇女肌肉健康和降低心血管风险的作用。方法:对100名中老年妇女的肌肉健康水平和心血管危险因素进行问卷调查。随机选取20名中老年女性作为参与者，实验组进行阻力运动训练，对照组进行简单运动训练。结果:实验组肌肉健康指标中，BMI下降0.3%，体脂下降1.3%，腰臀比下降0.01，脂肪减少1.7 kg，瘦体重增加2.8 kg，蛋白质减少0.9 kg。实验组心血管健康指标的变化均大于对照组。结论:抗阻运动能有效改善中老年妇女肌肉健康，降低心血管风险。证据等级II;治疗性研究——对治疗结果的调查。

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.
