“…Therefore, prescribing aerobic and resistance training in combination is proposed as an efficacious strategy to improve cardiovascular as well as musculoskeletal functions in the elderly. Previous study showed that moderate-intensity combined training improved arterial stiffness and greater muscle strength in postmenopausal women [24]. The present study, despite higher intensity combined training, results in decreased arterial stiffness by performing aerobic exercise after resistance training.…”

“…Karavirta et al [23] reported that combined training increased muscle strength in 40-67-year-old men. Regarding vascular function, Figueroa et al [24] reported that a 12-week moderate-intensity combined training improved arterial stiffness, hemodynamics in postmenopausal women. Katie et al [25] showed that combined training reduced systolic blood pressure and improved vascular properties.…”

When combined aerobic and resistance training into the same session is performed, the exercise order may lead to different effects with respect to factors such as muscle strength, hormone responses, energy metabolism, and vascular function. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise order of combined aerobic and resistance training into the same session on body composition, muscle strength and arterial stiffness in the elderly. Thirty-one elderly subjects (70.5 ± 3.5 years) were randomly assigned to 3 groups; AR: aerobic before resistance training, RA: resistance before aerobic training and CON: no training. Subjects trained 2 times per week for 10 weeks. Resistance training consisted of 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions for 5 different exercises, 70%-80% of one repetition maximum (1RM). Aerobic exercise consisted of cycling at 60% of heart rate reserve (HRR). Significant interaction effects were observed in body fat percentage (P < 0.01) and 1RM (P < 0.01). However, no significant differences were observed between AR and RA. In contrast, pulse wave velocity (PWV) significantly reduced in the RA (8.8 ± 2.1 m/s to 7.6 ± 1.9 m/s, P < 0.05), while PWV increased in the AR (7.9 ± 2.8 m/s to 10.0 ± 2.6 m/s, P < 0.01), and there was significant difference between AR and RA (P < 0.05). In conclusion, no effects of the exercise order were observed in body composition and muscle strength. However, aerobic exercise after resistance training reduced arterial stiffness and difference of exercise order was observed.

“…Moreover, the discontinuation of the concurrent training program increased these patients' cardiovascular risk (Berent et al 2011). In postmenopausal women, combined strength and endurance training performed 3 days per week improved arterial stiffness and blood pressure (Figueroa et al 2011). These results are quite relevant given that, in addition to declines in muscle strength, menopause is associated with increased arterial stiffness.…”

The purpose of the present study was to review the scientific literature that investigated concurrent training adaptations in elderly populations, with the aim of identifying the optimal combination of both training program variables (i.e., strength and endurance) to avoid or minimize the interference effect in the elderly. Scielo, Science Citation Index, MEDLINE, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and ScienceDirect databases were searched. Concurrent training is the most effective strategy by which to improve neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory functions as well as functional capacity in the elderly. The volume and frequency of training appears to play a critical role in concurrent training-induced adaptations in elderly subjects. Furthermore, new evidence indicates that the intra-session exercise order may influence the magnitude of physiological adaptations. Despite the interference effect on strength gains that is caused by concurrent training, this type of training is advantageous in that the combination of strength and endurance training produces both neuromuscular and cardiovascular adaptations in the elderly. The interference phenomenon may be observed in elderly subjects when a moderate weekly volume of concurrent training (i.e., three times per week) is performed. However, even with the occurrence of this phenomenon, the performance of three concurrent training sessions per week appears to optimize the strength gains in relative brief periods of training (12 weeks). Moreover, performing strength prior to endurance exercise may optimize both neuromuscular and cardiovascular gains.

“…These reductions in MAP and AIx suggest an improvement in the functionality of the resistance arteries and therefore a reduction in CV risk. The results were novel (in the context specifically of green-exercise) but expected, as aerobic exercise programmes have previously been associated with improvements in CV risk and vascular haemodynamics, including MAP and AIx [53][54][55]. However, to the best of our knowledge, while Pretty et al [21] have demonstrated the beneficial impact of acute bouts of aerobic exercise whilst viewing scenes of nature on MAP, the effect of an 8-week green-exercise programme on MAP and AIx had not before been investigated.…”
