“…These changes were not accompanied by a significant reduction in LBM, which is consistent with the results of similar studies, in which the intensity of exercises in training corresponded with the maximum rate of fat oxidation (Fatmax) or the lowest value of respiratory quotient (RQ) [21,31,22]. Considering age-related changes in body composition, namely progressive reductions in lean body mass and increases in adipose tissue [32][33][34], such an intensity of NW training in older people seems to be particularly beneficial health-wise [24]. What is interesting, the study conducted by Drapier et al [35] showed that the effects of LIPOXmax training continue to improve body composition within 3 years.…”

“…There is evidence that the endurance training with individualized intensity oriented on the maximum mobilisation of the body's fat reserves (Fatmax, LIPOXmax) can quickly lead to the improvement of body composition, cardiovascular condition, lipid metabolism, and can result in lowering blood pressure [21][22][23]. Therefore, it seems likely that such intensity of exercise may be particularly beneficial in health training of the elderly [24]. However, the physiological response of the body and the adaptive cardiovascular response to such NW intervention have not been studied.…”

This study examined the effects of a 6-week Nordic Walking (NW) training, at the intensity corresponding to the dominance of lipid metabolism, on the levels of selected physiological indices, the haemodynamic indices of the cardiovascular system and physical fitness in sedentary women older than 55 years of age. In addition, the physiological response of the female body to the walking effort on treadmill with poles (NW) and without poles (W) was compared and the influence of training on this response was determined. A single group study with a pre-test/post-test study design was conducted. Eighteen women performed NW controlled intensity training 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Body composition, resting blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) as well as circulatory and respiratory indices in two graded walking efforts on mechanical treadmill NW and W were measured before and after training period. The intensity of workouts, which considered the dominance of lipid metabolism, was determined individually, based on the dynamics of changes in the level of physiological indices during the graded intensity NW. After the course of training, body mass, fat mass, resting BP and HR decreased significantly (p < 0.05). HR and respiratory exchange ratio recorded during NW and W at 1.75 m. s-1 walking speed decreased, while the oxygen pulse increased (p < 0.05). VO 2 max increased significantly (p < 0.05). Before and after the training period HR, oxygen uptake per minute, and energy expenditure during NW were significantly higher than in W (p < 0.05). The study showed that 6-week NW training at the intensity corresponding to the dominance of lipid metabolism can provide improvement in body composition, cardiovascular function and physical performance in previously sedentary women. NW compared to the regular walk with the same speed revealed higher energy expenditure.

“…With regard to oxidative stress, physical activity is able to regulate both proand anti-oxidant activities by preventing the exacerbation of free radical release related to older age. This event contributes to postponing the aging process and decreasing the incidence of diseases associated with oxidative stress [9].…”

Aging is characterized by a progressive decline in the physiological function due to the gradual alteration of molecules, cells and tissues. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the by-product of aerobic metabolism, and their increase is physiologically counteracted by the activation of the antioxidant machinery. A typical hallmark of aging is the imbalance of such equilibrium, due to either an increase of the amount of radicals or a failure of the antioxidant system. Literature reports that physical exercise is able to restore and maintain the homeostasis of oxidants and antioxidants during aging. Recently, growing interest has been turned to functional fitness, a special physical activity aimed to enhance the ability to perform everyday tasks, such as dressing, climbing stairs and preparing meals. The aim of this work was to assess whether a 24 weeksfunctional fitness program carried out on 28 elderly participants (57-86 years old) could be able to improve their oxidative status. For this purpose, dROMs (diacron Reactive Oxygen Metabolites) and BAP (Biological Antioxidant Potential) were analysed at the beginning and at the end of the study. Furthermore, both plasma and saliva protein carbonylation levels were explored through proteomics analysis.

“…As the literature indicates, the occurrence of myocardial infarction leads to the modification of lifestyle-related behaviors to a more pro-healthy one, especially in the context of dietary changes [38]. The change of the diet to the one containing less fat resulted in a decrease in oxLDL levels in the group consisting of obese women, which was demonstrated by Elizabeth et al [39] in their study, as well as in the patients who participate regularly in Nordic walking, in the study by Cebula et al [40]. Moreover, higher oxLDL levels in CG in our study may be associated with higher levels of LDL-C in this group, because the processes involved in the modification of this cholesterol fraction play a key role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque [41].…”

Obesity is one of the factors leading to the development of atherosclerosis. This metabolic disorder is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species, which affect the oxidative stress level. The aim of this study was to evaluate oxidative/antioxidative status and to investigate the correlation between redox markers and anthropometric parameters and body composition in adult patients after myocardial infarction and in individuals without a cardiovascular event in the past. Descriptive data on socio-demographic, clinical, and anthropometric features and blood samples were collected and categorized into two equal groups: after myocardial infarction (study group (SG), n = 80) and without a cardiovascular event (control group (CG), n = 80). The oxidative/antioxidative status was assessed in plasma on the basis of total oxidative/capacitive status (PerOx), total antioxidative status/capacity (ImAnOx), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). OxLDL was significantly higher in the CG group compared to the SG group (p = 0.02). No significant differences were found with regard to PerOx and ImAnOx values between the studied groups. Significant positive correlation between PerOx and percentage of adipose tissue (FM [%]) and body adiposity index (BAI) was found in the two studied groups. ImAnOx significantly positively correlated with VAI in SG and FM% in CG. OxLDL negatively correlated with body mass index and waist to hip circumference ratio in CG. The total oxidative/antioxidative status is related to the amount of adipose tissue and the BAI of the subjects. It was observed that it correlates more frequently with the visceral distribution of body fat.
