“…Improvements in functional physical fitness in response to training are reported (American College of Sports Medicine Position Stand 1998; Blumenthal et al 1991;Charette et al 1991;Green and Crouse 1995;Grimby et al 1992). We hypothesized that two exercise frequency programs would bring about an improvement in arterial stiffness in elderly women.…”

We evaluated the effects of different training frequencies on arterial stiffness. 77 elderly women (mean 68.8 years and 7.0 SD) were divided into two training (1DW and 2DW) and a CONTROL group (n = 23). 1DW (n = 29) participated in 90-min group training once a week for 12 weeks, while 2DW (n = 25) attended twice a week. Each training program included recreational activities, six to eight resistance exercises for circuit training, and leg exercises for chair-based exercise. Brachial systolic and diastolic blood pressures and the brachial-to-ankle pulse-wave velocity (baPWV) were obtained in the supine position. Muscle strength and ventilatory threshold were also measured. After the training program, a reduction (P < 0.01) in baPWV was observed in 2DW (-7.8 +/- 7.0%) but not in 1DW (-1.5 +/- 7.5%) and CONTROL (-0.4 +/- 7.5%) without any changes in other measurements. The results suggest that, in order to improve arterial stiffness, an exercise frequency of at least twice a week is to be recommended for elderly.

“…It is well established that ET leads to substantial improvements in maximum aerobic power (VO2max) in elderly adults, since an improved VO2max is the fundamental specific physiologic response to ET [2]. Aerobic exercise-training studies in the elderly demonstrate that healthy older adults adapt physiologically to ET similarly to younger adults [3].…”

RT leads to a genuine increase in lean body mass and muscle strength in healthy elderly adults and is therefore the best method for treatment of amyotrophia. ET appears to be the most efficacious training mode for maintaining and improving maximum aerobic power in the elderly and should be viewed as a complement to RT. The loading intensity to promote hypertrophy should approach 60-80% of 1-RM with an exercise volume ranging from 3 to 6 sets per muscle group per week of 10-15 repetitions per exercise. ET should be performed on two days per week controlled by a heart rate according to 60% of VO(2max) and an exercise volume ranging from 30 to 60 minutes per week.

“…This increase, suggested by our analysis, is slightly less than those found in younger subjects. However, there are some studies on older individuals that have yielded results similar in magnitude to those found in studies on the young (Green, 1995;Mileis, 1976;Pollock, 1976;Saltin, 1969).…”

“…Those individuals who participate in a regular exercise regimen are more likely to postpone these physiological changes. Green and Crouse (1995) conducted a meta-analysis research review on the effects of endurance training on functional capacity in the elderly. From 146 studies retrieved from the MEDLINE search, only 31 met the established criteria for use in this study.…”
