The Effects of Swimming Training on Arterial Function, Strength and Cardiorespiratory Capacity in Elderly Women With Stage 2 Hypertension
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Swimming for Menopause and Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 100 participants.
Detailed Summary
Aging is associated with progressive decreases in arterial health and function as well as overall fitness. It is crucial to prevent or reduce the negative effects of aging on the vasculature and fitness components by implementing appropriate lifestyle interventions, such as exercise training. We examined the effects of a swimming (SWM) regimen on arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, PWV), blood pressure (BP), wave reflection (AIx), muscle strength and aerobic capacity in elderly women with stage 2 hypertension.
