“…Further data support this finding, suggesting the responsiveness to habitual exercise training may be sex- and mode-specific in older adults, with postmenopausal women inconsistently benefiting from habitual aerobic exercise training programs [ 6 , 63 ]. Of note, resistance [ [65] , [66] , [67] ] and combined aerobic/resistance exercise training protocols [ 60 , 61 ] have reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure in postmenopausal women conceivably due to alterations in autonomic balance that may be dysregulated following menopause [ 4 , 68 ]. Autonomic dysfunction has previously been observed in 67% of generally healthy postmenopausal women aged 55–65 years [ 68 ].…”

Background Postmenopausal women exhibit higher rates of disability and cardiovascular disease (CVD) with aging compared to men. Whereas habitual exercise training is a known strategy to enhance physiologic function in men and premenopausal women, exercise-related adaptations are often modest in postmenopausal women. We propose dietary nitrate (beetroot juice) administered prior to exercise training may be a feasible approach to improve mobility and cardio-metabolic health outcomes in postmenopausal women. Methods Our randomized, placebo-controlled study aims to determine preliminary effects sizes for changes in functional mobility and endothelium-dependent vasodilation across three study arms: exercise only (EX), exercise + placebo (EX + PL), and exercise + beetroot (EX + BR). Thirty-six postmenopausal women are recruited in small cohorts wherein group exercise is implemented to facilitate social support and adherence to an 8-week training progression. Participants are randomized to one of three study arms ( n = 12 per group) following baseline assessments. Post-intervention assessments are used to determine pre-post changes in outcome measures including distance covered during a 6 min walk test, walking economy, muscle speed and power, and endothelial-dependent vasodilation as determined by flow-mediated dilation. Measures of feasibility include recruitment, retention, adherence to exercise prescription, perceived exercise session difficulty, and adverse event rates. Discussion Evidence-based, translational strategies are needed to optimize exercise training-related adaptations in postmenopausal women. Findings will inform larger randomized clinical trials to determine if pre-exercise consumption of beetroot juice is an efficacious strategy to promote mobility and attenuate CVD disease risk.

“…Endurance (aerobic) training has been recommended for obese subjects since it may decrease body weight and fat mass (FM), as well as improve cardiometabolic markers [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. However, strength (resistance) training has a similar effect [ 16 ] or may be even more effective in improving cardiometabolic or anthropometric parameters than endurance training [ 17 , 18 ]. The beneficial effects of combined (endurance-strength) training on cardiometabolic markers compared with endurance training or strength training have also been reported [ 19 , 20 ], while some studies found no differences between training programmes [ 21 , 22 ].…”

The most effective type of training to improve cardiometabolic parameters in overweight subjects is unknown. This meta-analysis compared the effect of endurance, strength and combined training on glucose, insulin metabolism and the lipid profile of overweight and obese adults. The Cochrane, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched to identify randomised trials assessing the effect of training intervention on fasting and 2 h glucose and insulin levels, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA), C-peptide, total cholesterol (TC), low- (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides (TG). Forty-six studies were included showing that endurance training more favourably reduced HbA1c (p = 0.044), and LDL-C (p = 0.021) than strength training. Endurance-strength training more effectively decreased glucose (p = 0.002), HbA1c (p = 0.032), HOMA (p = 0.002), TC (p = 0.039), LDL-C (p = 0.046), HDL (p = 0.036) and TG levels (p = 0.025) than strength training. Combined training significantly reduced the HOMA index (p = 0.009) and TG levels (p = 0.039) compared with endurance training. Endurance and endurance-strength training have a more favourable effect on glucose and insulin homeostasis and lipid profile than strength training in overweight and obese adults. However, the results from this meta-analysis should be interpreted cautiously due to significant heterogeneity among included studies.
