THE EFFECT OF EIGHT-WEEK BRISK WALKING ON CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN MIDDLE-AGED MEN

Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of an eight-week brisk walking program on aerobic capacity (VO2max), blood pressures, some blood lipids, and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels in the middle-aged men. For this aim, 22 healthy men with an age range of 40-60 years were enrolled in the study and 12 of them constituted the exercise group (EG) and the remaining 10 subjects were taken as the control group (CG). EG walked for eight weeks, five days per week from 30min per day steadily increasing up to 48min, at ~69% of Heart Rate Reserve (HRR), at the speed of ~6.68±0.14 km/h. VO2max, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and hsCRP were measured before and after the training period. Brisk walking caused a statistically significant reduction in SBP and LDL-C levels (p
