  1. Exercise and adult women’s health Amos Pines

  2. Be fit – be healthy Ways to measure fitness: Ordinary exercise testing Walk test Parameters used to measure the intensity of exercise: • Heart rate • Oxygen consumption (VO2) • Energy expenditure (METs or k/cal spent during a time unit)

  3. Measuring energy expenditure 1 Metabolic Equivalent Task (MET) = calories spent while resting(the individual basal metabolic rate (BMR) is adjusted for body size) The intensity of physical activity is measured by METs per time unit: 2 METs/h means spending twice the calories needed at rest during 1 hour

  4. Exercise improvescardiovascular risk profile • Body mass index • Total, abdominal (subcutaneous and visceral) fat • Waist circumference • Glucose metabolism/insulin resistance • Blood pressure • Lipids • Endothelial function/intima-media thickness IMPROVED

  5. Benefits of exercise in postmenopausal women 70% maximal heart rate; 45 minutes; 3-4 times weekly for 6 months Control (n = 13) Exercise (n = 10) Pre Post Pre Post Age (years) 59.1 ± 1.5 58.0 ± 1.8 Body weight (kg) 73.7 ± 4.07 73.7 ± 4.30 67.4 ± 2.76 64.4 ± 2.83* Lean body mass (kg) 41.7 ± 1.4 41.8 ± 1.6 40.6 ± 1.6 40.7 ± 1.7 Fat mass (kg) 30.0 ± 3.1 30.0 ± 3.2 26.9 ± 3.4 23.6 ± 3.5* % Body fat 42.3 ± 2.2 41.2 ± 1.9 39.3 ± 1.2 36.1 ± 2.0* BMI (kg/m2) 27.1 ± 1.4 27.1 ± 1.4 24.6 ± 1.1 23.6 ± 1.4* Waist-hip ratio 0.84 ± 0.03 0.83 ± 0.03 0.77 ± 0.03 0.77 ± 0.02 VO2-max (ml/kg/min) 26.5 ± 1.4 26.4 ± 1.4 28.7 ± 1.9 34.9 ± 2.8* MHR (bpm) 165 ± 3.7 163 ± 4.0 162 ± 4.2 166 ± 3.7 MRQ 1.19 ± 0.03 1.20 ± 0.02 1.21 ± 0.04 1.25 ± 0.03 • ˙ Values are mean ± SE. MRQ, maximal respiratory quotient; MHR, maximal heart rate *p < 0.05 (significant changes with exercise and significantly different from the control group) • Santa-Clara H, et al.

  6. Exercise and the Metabolic Syndrome: DREW Study data.Sedentary, overweight, moderately hypertensive PMW; 6 months of exercise training at 50%, 100%, 150% of the NIH Recommendations for physical activity (4, 8, and 12 kcal/kg of energy expenditure/wk [KKW]) vs. nonexercise controls.
