TLDR
The findings indicate that a 12-week moderate-intensity combined circuit RE and EE training improves arterial stiffness, hemodynamics, and muscle strength in previously sedentary postmenopausal women.Abstract:
Objective: Menopause is associated with increased arterial stiffness and reduced muscle strength. Combined resistance (RE) and endurance (EE) exercise training can decrease brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), an index of arterial stiffness, in young men. We tested the hypothesis that combined circuit RE and EE training would improve baPWV, blood pressure (BP), and muscle strength in postmenopausal women. Methods: Twenty-four postmenopausal women (age 47-68 y) were randomly assigned to a Bno exercise[ control (n = 12) or to combined exercise training (EX; n = 12) group. The EX group performed concurrent circuit RE training followed by EE training at 60% of the predicted maximal heart rate (HR) 3 days per week. Brachial systolic BP, diastolic BP, mean arterial pressure, baPWV, HR, and dynamic and isometric muscle strength were measured before and after the 12-week study. Results: Mean T SE baPWV (j0.8 T 0.2 meters/s), systolic BP (j6.0 T 1.9 mm Hg), diastolic BP (j4.8 T 1.7 mm Hg), HR (j4.0 T 1.0 beats/min), and mean arterial pressure (j5.1 T 1.6 mm Hg) decreased (P G 0.05), whereas dynamic leg strength (5.1 T 1.0 vs 0.6 T 1.0 kg for the EX and control groups, respectively) and isometric handgrip strength (2.8 T 0.7 vs j0.6 T 1.2 kg) increased (P G 0.05) in the EX group but not in the control group. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that a 12-week moderate-intensity combined circuit RE and EE training improves arterial stiffness, hemodynamics, and muscle strength in previously sedentary postmenopausal women. This study provides evidence that combined training may have important health implications for the prevention of hypertension and frailty in postmenopausal women.read more

TL;DR: It is concluded that exercise—especially endurance training and yoga—decreases RHR, which may contribute to a reduction in all-cause mortality due to regular exercise or sports.

Relationship between Sarcopenic Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease Risk as Estimated by the Framingham Risk Score
TL;DR: Sarcopenic obesity, but not non-sarcopeni obesity, was closely associated with an increased CVD risk in Korean adults and non-obese subjects were not associated with a increased 10-yr CVDrisk.

TL;DR: The recommendation for older adults is similar to the updated ACSM/AHA recommendation for adults, but has several important differences including: the recommended intensity of aerobic activity takes into account the older adult's aerobic fitness; activities that maintain or increase flexibility are recommended; and balance exercises are recommended for Older adults at risk of falls.
