Abstract: (9 Views)
Background and Objective: Aging is associated with structural and functional changes in the cardiovascular system, which can increase the risk of mortality and heart disease and reduce functional capacity in the elderly. Evidence suggests that lifestyle factors, especially physical activity and exercise, can play an important role in improving cardiovascular function in the elderly. Exercise training has been recognized as an effective non-pharmacological strategy in promoting cardiovascular health. The aim of this study was to examine cardiovascular changes associated with aging and the effect of types of exercise, such as aerobic and resistance training, on cardiovascular function in the elderly.
Methods: By searching for the keywords "aging, cardiovascular, exercise training" in the Normags, Magiran, SID, and Google Scholar databases, 14 relevant articles were selected. Research articles involving human samples (elderly people) that examined the effect of exercise training on cardiovascular health in the elderly—without the intervention of other factors such as nutrition, and excluding those with diabetes or weight gain—were included. Totally, 14 studies on humans were conducted, involving 2454 participants.
Findings: The research showed that exercise training, regardless of type and intensity, has positive effects on the structure and cardiovascular function of the elderly. These exercises help maintain functional capacity by modulating the consequences of aging.
Conclusion: Regular exercise can be part of prevention and treatment programs for heart disease in the elderly. Both resistance and aerobic training methods are effective for improving cardiovascular function in the elderly and preventing cardiovascular aging. It is recommended that these exercises be performed under the supervision of a specialist.
