“…In older adults, a similar phenomenon has also been reported in a meta-analysis (33). However, no significant changes were observed in HR in the present study after the 6-month exercise period, whereas both BP and AI were markedly reduced.…”

Arterial stiffness is an important factor for cardiovascular performance and a predictor of cardiovascular risk. We evaluated the effects of both acute and long-term aerobic exercise on arterial stiffness in community-dwelling healthy elderly subjects. In addition, we evaluated the relationship between the effects of longterm exercise and those of acute exercise. The study subjects were participants in the Shimanami Health Promoting Program study (J-SHIPP), which was designed to investigate factors relating to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and death (67 ± 6 years). They performed mild-to-moderate aerobic exercise lasting for 30 min twice a week for 6 months. Arterial stiffness was assessed before and after the first 30-min acute exercise (n =99) and long-term 6-month aerobic training (n =40). The radial arterial augmentation index (AI) obtained from the radial pulse waveform by the tonometry method was used as a parameter of arterial stiff-

“…Given the great expense of conducting high quality clinical trials, however, outcomes beyond those included in the original protocol are often evaluated. While some studies have assessed the efficacy of an exercise regimen for lowering the pulse rate in older adults, 34, 43 the findings from these studies are difficult to interpret due to the number of discrepant factors involved such as the large heterogeneity in subjects’ age, relatively small sample sizes, and differences in outcome measurement methods. Foremost, the current study extends the limited available literature on this topic as, to our knowledge, it represents the largest clinical trial to examine the efficacy of a moderate intensity exercise intervention for lowering RPR in older adults (n=424), includes a sufficient and representative age range (ages 70-89 years), and employed a standardized method of measurement for recording the RPR.…”

Background Elevated resting pulse rate (RPR) is a well-recognized risk factor for adverse outcomes. Epidemiological evidence supports the beneficial effects of regular exercise for lowering RPR, but studies are mainly confined to persons younger than 65 years. We set out to evaluate the utility of a physical activity (PA) intervention for slowing RPR among older adults. Methods A total of 424 seniors (ages 70-89 years) were randomized to a moderate intensity PA intervention or an education-based “successful aging” (SA) health program. RPR was assessed at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Longitudinal differences in RPR were evaluated between treatment groups using generalized estimating equation (GEE) models, reporting unstandardized beta coefficients (β) with robust standard errors (SE). Results Increased frequency and duration of aerobic training was observed for the PA group at 6 and 12 months as compared with the SA group (P <0.001). In both groups, RPR remained unchanged over the course of the 12-month study period (P =0.67). No significant improvement was observed (β [SE] = 0.58 [0.88], P =0.51) for RPR when treatment groups were compared using the GEE method. Comparable results were found after omitting participants with a pacemaker, cardiac arrhythmia, or who were receiving beta-blockers. Conclusions Twelve months of moderate intensity aerobic training did not improve RPR among older adults. Additional studies are needed to determine whether physical activity of longer duration and/or greater intensity can slow RPR in older persons.

“…Decreased reductions of resting heart rate responding to longer aerobic training of more than 30 weeks have been reported in healthy sedentary older subjects. 59 Reductions in peak heart rate and peripheral oxygen utilization appear to mediate the age-associated decline in aerobic capacity with an accelerated rate in later life, 57 which may contribute to the longer trainability, the declined adaptation to greater VO 2max attainment, and the difficulty to maintain training benefits in aging people. Each person's genetic ceiling again limits the extent of improvement that is possible due to exercise training.…”

Our data provide quantitative insight into the magnitude of VO2max alterations as affected by exercise intensity, duration, frequency, and program length. The shapes of the dose-response curves are not simply linear, but with many similar trends and noteworthy characteristics. Aerobic training at a mean intensity of 66%-73% HRR with 40-50 min per session for 3-4 day/week for 30-40 weeks appears to be effective and optimal for maximum cardiorespiratory benefits in healthy sedentary older adults.
