Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as increased body fat, dyslipidemia, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are intensified in postmenopausal women. CRP has been reported as an independent indicator of risk for cardiovascular events. CRP is affected by multiple factors such as age, race, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity level. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of an exercise intervention on traditional (BMI, percent body fat, waist circumference, physical activity level) and non-traditional (CRP) risk factors for cardiovascular disease to a dietary intervention program in sedentary, postmenopausal women. Twenty apparently healthy postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to a diet intervention group (DI) or an exercise intervention group (EXI) for a period of 9 weeks. DI participants reported once a week for a body weight measurement and EXI participants were asked to attend 3 exercise sessions per week that were 45-55 minute sessions (cardiovascular and resistance training exercises). There were no significant effects of time or treatment intervention, or a time x treatment interaction on CRP levels (p=0.077, p

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the independent effects of diet-induced weight loss and exercise without weight loss on fibrinolysis in sedentary postmenopausal women. Healthy, sedentary, postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to one of two groups for a 10-week intervention: Exercise Intervention (EXI) or Dietary Intervention (DI). There were initially 49 participants, however, data was available for only 30 (EXI=15, DI=15). Subjects in the EXI group were asked to maintain their current dietary habits and maintain a weight of ±3 pounds. The DI group refrained from exercise and was given specific dietary guidelines to produce weight loss (10% of body weight). EXI participants completed 3 to 4 supervised sessions per week. Cardiovascular training began with exercising at 60% of VO2max and gradually progressed to 75-80% of max by week 10. Participants performed a circuit of total-body exercises starting at one set of 8-15 repetitions (60-70% of 1RM) and progressing to 2 sets of each exercise. Sessions began at 30 minutes and progressed to a total of 45 minutes. The results of the repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that there were no changes in fibrinogen, von Willebrand Factor (vWF), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) activity, tPA antigen, and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1). Results of the current study suggest that mild improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (27.74 ± 4.77 to 29.04 ± 5.24 ml/kg/min) and mild decreases in body fat (42.65 ± 4.32 to 41.13 ± 5.10%) are not sufficient to engender hemostatic changes in postmenopausal women.
