Revisiting the relationship between aerobic and static exercise training on cardiovascular risk profiles: a critical review
Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease continues to become increasingly prevalent and despite ongoing development into pharmacological therapy, morbidity and mortality associated with heart disease remains high. The purpose of this review is to revisit current theories regarding the beneficial effects of both aerobic and static exercise training on the cardiovascular system, with a view to optimize individual risk factors thereby improving overall cardiovascular risk. A PubMed literature search was conducted using the key phrases, ‘exercise, cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis.’ A total of 3 meta-analyses and a further 11 individual research articles were cited. Data regarding both positive and negative associations with individual cardiovascular risk factors were reviewed and discussed. Conclusion: Data continues to show a positive correlation between at least 30 minutes of both aerobic and static exercise training on cardiovascular outcomes. 30 minutes of aerobic exercise training at more than 50% VO 2max can improve blood lipoprotein levels, homocysteine levels, blood pressure and vascular inflammation. static exercise training can also reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a subset of hypertensive patients.
