Effects of Aerobic Exercise vs. Resistance Training on Endothelial Function in @entity1 with XXXX .

@entity1 @entity384 @entity26 @entity6
BACKGROUND: There is controversy over whether aerobic or resistance exercise is more effective for improving endothelial function in @entity6 ( @entity6 ). This study was aimed to investigate the effects of an aerobic and resistance training program on endothelial function, and the influences of glycemic control, body weight changes, and aerobic capacity in @entity6 . METHODS: Total 40 overweight @entity1 with @entity6 were assigned into 3 groups: an aerobic exercise group (AEG, n=13), resistance exercise group (REG, n=12), and control group (CG, n=15), and followed either brisk walking for the AEG or resistance band training for the REG, 60 minutes per day, 5 days per week for 12 weeks with monitoring daily activity using accelerometers. We assessed endothelial function by @entity384 ( @entity384 ), and aerobic capacity by @entity26 uptake at anaerobic threshold (AT_VO(2)) at baseline and following training program. RESULTS: The mean @entity1 ' age was 57.0  6.8 years, and body mass index (BMI) was 27.0  2.3 kg/m(2). After intervention, @entity384 increased by 2.2  1.9% in AEG, which differed from REG and CG (P=0.002), despite of decreased body weight (BW) in both AG and RG (2.8  2.5%, P=0.002; 1.6  2.0%, P=0.017, respectively). A significant increased AT_VO(2) and decreased HbA1c were found only in AEG. In all @entity1 , @entity384 was changed with the significant relations to the AT_VO(2) (r=0.348, P=0.035), but not to HbA1c levels or BW. CONCLUSION: Aerobic exercise appears to be more beneficial than resistance exercise for improving endothelial function in @entity6 . In addition, aerobic capacity could be a better predictor of changes in @entity384 than BW and glycemic control.
