Abstract.[Purpose] Post-menopausal women are often affected with menopausal syndromes, and their sedentary lifestyle may increase their risk of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to assay the correlation between heart rate variability (HRV), the adjustment of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and menopausal symptoms among different exercise behaviors of post-menopausal women. [Subjects and Methods] This was a cross-sectional study, and the relationships between exercise behavior, menopause rating scale (MRS), and HRV were analyzed. Subjects were assessed by a structured questionnaire and electrocardiography, and assigned to Group A, Group B, and Group C according to exercise behaviors (low, medium, and high, respectively).[Results] Three hundred and twenty-seven post-menopausal women were assessed. The correlation analysis revealed that exercise behaviors had negative correlations with MRS, and the low frequency component and the low frequency / high frequency ratio of heart rate power spectra. MRS of Group C was significantly lower than that of Groups A and B. There were no significant differences in HRV among the three groups.[Conclusions] The differences of exercise behavior affected post-menopausal symptoms and the adjustment of ANS of post-menopausal women.

“…19 Studies consider that total cholesterol and LDL-c continue to increase in women until the age of 70. 20 Gonadal failure in the post-menopausal climacteric may be related to the elevation of total cholesterol and LDL-c levels, due to a decrease in the hepatic activity of 7-α-hydroxylase, with a reduction of biliary acid synthesis and, therefore, a decrease in cholesterol excretion. 21 Galvão et al 22 found an association between triglycerides and endothelial dysfunction, suggesting that triglycerides play an important role in endothelial dysfunction: they found that elevated levels of triglycerides cause an increase in lipolysis with a consequent increase of inflammatory markers, such as ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein (us-CRP) and interleukin 6, which leads to endothelial dysfunction.…”

“…Regular physical exercise may decrease a woman's risk of developing several medical illnesses, including osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression (Hagey and Warren 2008). In addition, due to the characteristics of water, the exercises performed in the aquatic environment are safe (Meredith-Jones et al 2011;Alberton et al 2013a) and effective to improve physical fitness of women in aging process (Takeshima et al 2002;Bento et al 2012).…”

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.
