“…Cardiorespiratory fitness was categorized into three levels: low (< 20th percentile), moderate (20 th -59th percentile), or high (≥60th percentile) based on the widely used gender-and age-specific cut-points of estimated VO2max from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS). 31…”

“…Participation in the SaBang-DolGi walking program showed statistically significant changes in grip strength, abdominal muscle strength and flexibility. Given the fact that the prevalence of muscular dystrophy in post-menopausal women is 10–40% [ 53 ], regular exercise to strengthen muscle strength and endurance in the post-menopausal period is very important [ 54 ]. In particular, it has been reported that grip strength, as an indicator of muscle strength reduction [ 55 ], can limit physical functions and cause physical strength reduction [ 56 ], and it also serves as an important factor that can predict mortality [ 57 ].…”

Objective: We investigated the effectiveness of a 12-week SaBang-DolGi walking exercise program on the physical and mental health of menopausal women and aimed to provide the basic data needed to develop health promotion programs for the active and healthy aging of menopausal women. Materials and methods: The participants comprised 40 women aged 50–65 years who were divided into two randomly selected groups in training sessions (exercising group, n = 21 and control group, n = 19). A physical (grip, muscle and endurance) test and mental health test (simple mental health test II) were conducted using questionnaires with the aim of examining subjects’ physical and mental health before and after exercise. Results: After the intervention, the participants experienced positive changes in the physical dimension, with significant enhancements particularly in mental well-being and menopause-related health and subdomains. Controlled and regular exercise for 12 weeks was significantly correlated with a positive change in vitality and mental health. Conclusions: We found that the SaBang-DolGi walking exercise program helps to promote the physical and mental health of menopausal women who are exposed to the various stresses and depressions that accompany physical deterioration; the program was found to encourage active and healthy aging.

“…Aerobic exercise is individually prescribed, to be performed 5 days per week. Initial training intensity is based on patients’ exercise stress test, in accordance with the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines [ 30 ]. Target heart rate is calculated using the anaerobic threshold and heart rate reserve, with an exercise intensity range of 60% to 80%; the intensity of exercise may be adjusted to achieve an 11–15 rating of perceived exertion [ 31 ].…”

“…Outcomes were measured at intake and discharge assessments. Cardiorespiratory fitness was operationalized as VO 2peak (volume of oxygen consumed per unit of time [ 30 ], expressed in mL/kg/min; Toronto Rehab) or metabolic equivalent of task (METs; Toronto Western), which were obtained during the graded exercise stress test. Given the measurement error associated with the latter, while results from the Toronto Rehab cardiopulmonary assessments were converted to METs so results across both sites could be grouped, VO 2peak was also extracted and compared in the Toronto Rehab participants.…”

Women’s outcomes following mixed-sex, women-only, and home-based cardiac rehabilitation participation and comparison by sex

Background Despite women’s greater need for cardiac rehabilitation (CR), they are less likely to utilize it. Innovative CR models have been developed to better meet women’s needs, yet there is little controlled, comparative data assessing the effects of these models for women. This study compared outcomes in women electing to participate in mixed-sex, women-only, or home-based CR, and a matched sample of men. Methods In this retrospective study, electronic records of CR participants in Toronto who were offered the choice of program model between January 2017 and July 2019 were analyzed; clinical outcomes comprised cardiorespiratory fitness, risk factors and psychosocial well-being. These were assessed at intake and post-6-month program and analyzed using general linear mixed models. Results There were 1181 patients (727 women [74.7% mixed, 22.0% women-only, 3.3% home-based]; 454 age and diagnosis-matched men) who initiated CR; Cardiorespiratory fitness among women was higher at initiation of mixed-sex than women-only (METs 5.1 ± 1.5 vs 4.6 ± 1.3; P = .007), but no other outcome differences were observed. 428 (58.9%) women completed the programs, with few women retained in the home-based model limiting comparisons. There were significant improvements in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P = .001) and quality of life (P = .001), and lower depressive symptoms (P = .030) as well as waist circumference (P = .001) with mixed-sex only. VO2peak was significantly higher at discharge in mixed-sex than women-only (estimate = 1.67, standard error = 0.63, 95% confidence interval = 0.43–2.91). Conclusion Participation in non-gender-tailored women-only CR was not advantageous as expected. More research is needed, particularly including women participating in home-based programs.
