Combined resistance and endurance exercise training improves arterial stiffness, blood pressure, and muscle strength in postmenopausal women

Abstract

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.
