“…Similarly, Kokkinos et al 35 reported that strength training did not improve lipoprotein lipid profiles in middle aged men. However, the findings of this study are in contrast with those of Bemben and Bemben, 22 who found improvements in HDL-C concentrations and TC/HDL-C ratio after a 16 week Dynaband resistance exercise programme in postmenopausal women. Prabhakaran et al 18 also observed significant reductions in TC, LDL-C and TC/HDL-C ratio in a group of resistance trained women.…”

Effects of resistance training and detraining on muscle strength and blood lipid profiles in postmenopausal women

Objectives: To study the effects of eight weeks of supervised, low intensity resistance training (80% of 10 repetition maximum (10RM)) and eight weeks of detraining on muscle strength and blood lipid profiles in healthy, sedentary postmenopausal women. Subjects: Fifteen postmenopausal women, aged 49-62 years, took part in the study. Subjects were assigned to either a control (n = 7) or training (n = 8) group. The training regimen consisted of three sets of eight repetitions of leg press, bench press, knee extension, knee flexion, and lat pull-down, three days a week at 80% of 10RM. Dynamic leg strength, 10RM, and blood lipid profiles (total cholesterol (TC), low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, HDL-C), triglycerides, and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C)) were measured at baseline, after eight weeks of training, and after a further eight weeks of detraining. Results: Eight weeks of resistance training produced significant increases in knee extension (F 1,13 = 12.60; p<0.01), bench press (F 1,13 = 13.79; p<0.01), leg press (F 1,13 = 15.65; p<0.01), and lat pulldown (F 1,13 = 16.60; p<0.005) 10RM strength tests. Although 10RM strength decreased after eight weeks of detraining, the results remained significantly elevated from baseline measures. Eight weeks of training did not result in any significant alterations in blood lipid profiles, body composition, or dynamic isokinetic leg strength. There were no significant differences in any of the variables investigated over the 16 week period in the control group. Conclusions: These data suggest that a short, low intensity resistance training programme produces substantial improvements in muscle strength. Training of this intensity and duration was not sufficient to produce significant alterations in blood lipid concentrations.

“…When the baseline lipid data from our participants were compared to U.S. national averages for women of similar age from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III 1999-2002 data [6], the mean serum concentrations observed in the current study appear similar or slightly lower for TC (5.2 vs. 5.8 mmol·L −1 ), LDL-C (3.3 vs. 3.4 mmol·L −1 ), HDL-C (1.5 vs. 1.5 mmol·L −1 ), and Tg (1.3 vs. 1.6 mmol·L −1 ). In comparison to previous studies with postmenopausal women performing resistance training [4,9,13,15], the participants in our study had a greater BMI. In addition, our participants had similar baseline serum concentrations of TC, LDL-C, Tg and HDL-C when compared to lipid profiles reported by Fahlman et al [15] and lower lipid profiles than reported by Bemben et al .…”

The specific aims of this study were to quantify the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training, as well as a single session of resistance exercise on lipids and lipoproteins in obese, postmenopausal women. Twenty-one obese, postmenopausal women, not on hormone replacement therapy (age = 65.9 ± 0.5 yr; BMI = 32.7 ± 0.8 kg/m2), were randomly assigned to control (n=12) and exercise (n=9) groups matched for age and BMI. For 12 weeks, 3 days/week, the exercise group performed 10 whole body resistance exercises (3 sets at 8-RM). Fasting (10 hr) blood samples were collected immediately prior to and 24 hr after the first and last exercise and control session. Serum was assayed for concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, HDL-C, HDL2-C, HDL3-C, non-HDL-C and TC:HDL and LDL:HDL ratios. The exercise group exhibited a significant (P < 0.01) improvement in muscular strength, but no change in BMI, body mass or body composition post-training. Total cholesterol, LDL-C and non-HDL-C were significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the exercise compared to the control group following the 12 weeks of resistance training. Whole body resistance training provides obese, postmenopausal women a non-pharmacological approach for the reduction of lipid and lipoprotein-cholesterol concentrations.

“…These declines are associated with an impairment in the functional capacity, which affects the performance of several independent daily living activities Christensen et al 2009;Aagaard et al 2010). In addition, in women, the incidence and development of these changes (e.g., increased body fat and a loss of fat-free mass) are more pronounced after menopause (Bemben and Bemben 2000). It has been postulated that the combination of resistance and aerobic training is an optimal strategy to reduce metabolic abnormalities and to improve the cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular force, and functional capacity in elderly .…”

This study investigated the effects of different exercise sequences on the neuromuscular adaptations induced by water-based concurrent training in postmenopausal women. Twenty-one healthy postmenopausal women (57.14±2.43 years) were randomly placed into two water-based concurrent training groups: resistance training prior to (RA, n=10) or after (AR, n=11) aerobic training. Subjects performed resistance and aerobic training twice a week over 12 weeks, performing both exercise types in the same training session. Upper (elbow flexors) and lower-body (knee extensors) one-repetition maximal test (1RM) and peak torque (PT) (knee extensors) were evaluated. The muscle thickness (MT) of upper (biceps brachii) and lower-body (vastus lateralis) was determined by ultrasonography. Moreover, the maximal and submaximal (neuromuscular economy) electromyographic activity (EMG) of lower-body (vastus lateralis and rectus femoris) was measured. Both RA and AR groups increased the upper-and lower-body 1RM and PT, while the lower-body 1RM increases observed in the RA was greater than AR (34.62±13.51 vs. 14.16±13.68 %). RA and AR showed similar MT increases in upper-and lower-body muscles evaluated. In addition, significant improvements in the maximal and submaximal EMG of lower-body muscles in both RA and AR were found, with no differences between groups. Both exercise sequences in water-based concurrent training presented relevant improvements to promote health and physical fitness in postmenopausal women. However, the exercise sequence resistanceaerobic optimizes the strength gains in lower limbs.
