تاثير نوع تمرين و استروژن بر CRP و برخي از عوامل خطرزاي قلبي عروقي در زنان مسن

The Effect of Type of Exercise and Estrogen on C-Reactive Protein and Other Cardiovascular Risk Factor in Old Women

The aim of this research was to study the type of exercise and estrogen on c~ reactive protein (CRP) and some other cardiovascular risk factors (plasma lipids and lipoproteins) in old women. For this reason, 71 sedentary postmenpopusal women participated in this study. They divided to three exercise groups (walking, weight training and water exercise) and two control and estrogen groups. The experimental groups contributed in an 8 week training with given intensity and duration. The control group was asked to continue their usual daily routine during the 8 week experimental period. Plasma CRP, lipids and lipoprotein were measured before and after the exercise program. Data were analyzed by t-test and one way analysis of variance (p<0.05). The findings indicated a decrease in CRP after the training program, but this decrease was not significant. The findings about lipids and lipoproteins indicated a significant decrease in TC, TG, LDL, VLDL in exercise groups. This decrease was significant in TC and VLD in walking and water exercise groups. These data suggest that physical training has positive effects on cardiovascular risk factor.
