A Study on How a 6-Month Aerobic Exercise Program Can Modify Coronary Risk Factors Depending on Their Severity in Middle-Aged Sedentary Women

It is well known that physical exercise can reduce coronary risk factors. But how an aerobic exercise modifies coronary risk factors in relation to severity and physical fitness is still controversial. Fifty-four middle-aged women (mean age, 55 years) completed a 6-month on-site and home-based anaer...

Zusammenfassung:It is well known that physical exercise can reduce coronary risk factors. But how an aerobic exercise modifies coronary risk factors in relation to severity and physical fitness is still controversial. Fifty-four middle-aged women (mean age, 55 years) completed a 6-month on-site and home-based anaerobic threshold-level exercise program. The changes in coronary risk factor profiles were observed during the pre-intervention and intervention periods. Before the intervention (during control period), most coronary risk factors showed a rather unfavorable trend. After the program, their mean body weight decreased from 56.7 to 55.7 kg (p
