Abstract
Background
Based on research literature, it has been reported that aerobic exercises have positive physiological effects on the body. An unhealthy lifestyle can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and ultimately lead to increased treatment costs and more deaths. Various studies have investigated the effects of aerobic exercise on some risk factors of heart diseases.
purpose
The purpose of this research is to review the research literature related to the effect of aerobic exercise on lipid profile and some cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly.
methods
A systematic review and meta-analysis of the analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the effect of aerobic exercise on lipid profile and some cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly was performed. PubMed, ResearchGate and Google Scholar databases were searched from 2000 to the latest studies. Key search terms included "aerobic exercise," "aging," "cardiovascular disease," "lipid," "C-reactive protein," "TGF-β," "homocysteine," "fibrinogen," "IGF-1," and "ALP". 170 articles were extracted from the databases and after separation according to the research objectives, 45 studies were selected.
Results
According to the reviewed studies, aerobic exercise reduces body fat percentage, body mass index, endothelin-1, homocysteine, LDL, CRP, serum 8-hydroxy 2-deoxyguanosine, urinary 8-hydroxy 2-deoxyguanosine, chemerin and also increases It becomes HDL. Nitric oxide and irisin are effective cardiovascular levels for the elderly. The duration of the aerobic training program in all the studied studies was between 8 and 12 weeks. The programs that showed the best effect are related to aerobic exercises from 2 to 3 times a week with moderate intensity (60 to 70% of maximum heart rate).
Conclusions
Studies show that aerobic exercise with the right dose helps the elderly to avoid cardiovascular diseases and lead a healthy lifestyle. Most of the studies conducted show the positive effect of various aerobic exercises on reducing the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.
