Resistance Training Lowers Exercise‐Induced Oxidative Stress and Homocysteine Levels in Overweight and Obese Older Adults

Abstract

To our knowledge, these data are the first to show that RX reduces exercise-induced oxidative stress and homocysteine regardless of adiposity, indicating that this protection can be afforded in an older, overweight/obese population as effectively as in healthy older adults. These data suggest that RX may afford some protection against emerging cardiovascular risk factors using a mode of exercise that supports body weight.
