Sekiz haftalık hızlı tempo yürüyüşün orta yaşlı erkeklerde kardiovasküler hastalık risk faktörlerine etkisi

Çalışmamızın amacı sekiz haftalık hızlı tempo yürüyüş programının orta yaşlı erkeklerin aerobik kapasiteleri (VO2max), kan basınçları, bazı kan lipidleri, ve high-sensitive C-reaktif protein (hsCRP) düzeyleri üzerine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Bu amaçla, 40-60 yaşları arasında, 22 sağlıklı erkek çalışmaya alındı ve bunlardan 12'si egzersiz grubunu (EG) geri kalan 10'u ise kontrol grubunu (CG) oluşturdu. EG haftada beş gün, günde 30 dakikadan başlayarak 48 dakikaya kadar, sabit bir şekilde artan sürelerde, kalp atım sayısı yedeğinin (HRR) ~%69 şiddetinde ve -6.68+0.14 km/s hızla yürüdü. VO2max, sistolik ve diastolik kan basınçları (SKB, DKB), total kolesterol (TK), trigliserit (TG), yüksek yoğunluklu lipoprotein kolesterol (HDL-C), düşük yoğunluklu lipoprotein kolesterol (LDL-C), ve hsCRP antrenman periyodundan önce ve sonra ölçüldü. Hızlı tempo yürüyüş SKB ve LDL-C seviyelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir azalmaya (p< 0.05), V02max (p

The effect of eight-week brisk walking on cardiovascular disease risk factors in middle-aged men

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of an eight-week brisk walking program on aerobic capacity (V02max), blood pressures, some blood lipids, and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels in the middle-aged men. For this aim, 22 healthy men with an age range of 40-60 years were enrolled in the study and 12 of them constituted the exercise group (EG) and the remaining 10 subjects were taken as the control group (CG). EG walked for eight weeks, five days per week from 30min per day steadily increasing up to 48min, at -69% of Heart Rate Reserve (HRR), at the speed of ~6.68±0.14 km/h. V02max, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and hsCRP were measured before and after the training period.Brisk walking caused a statistically significant reduction in SBP and LDL-C levels (p<0.05), and a significant increase in V02max (p<0.01) and HDL-C levels (p<0.05). DBP and hsCRP levels also tended to decrease in EG, although they did not reach a statistical significance (p>0.05). No significant change was observed in any of these parameters in CG. In conclusion, in contrast to some previous studies, no significant reduction could be documented in hsCRP levels in the present study. Nevertheless, brisk walking is advisable to increase aerobic capacity and to achieve favorable changes in SBP and lipid parameters, which were shown to decrease cardiovascular disease risk.
