fa آثار تمرین هوازی تناوبی و تداومی بر عوامل سندروم متابولیک در مردان سالمند کارآزمایی بالینی Clinical Trials <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#008080;"><strong><em>Background and Objective:</em></strong></span> Metabolic syndrome encompasses a series of metabolic disorders associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Currently, some studies are performed on the effects of physical activity as an alternative treatment for metabolic syndrome. To this end, the present study was set to assess the probable effects of continuous and interval aerobic trainings on metabolic syndrome among the elderly men<span dir="RTL">.</span><br> <span style="color:#008080;"><strong><em>Materials and methods:</em></strong></span> 60 eligible elderly men were selected and assigned to three groups of:&nbsp; continuous training, interval training and the control. The initial blood samples were taken to record cardiovascular risk factors. After 48 hours, the subjects in the experimental group performed pre-designed training for 6 weeks and 3 sessions per week and the control group continued their daily activities. At the end of the training, further blood samples were taken again. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Scheffe post hoc and dependent t-test<span dir="RTL">.</span><br> <span style="color:#008080;"><strong><em>Results:</em></strong></span> Findings of this study revealed that after six weeks of continuous aerobic exercise training, systolic blood pressure, blood sugar and triglycerides significantly decreased. However, waist circumference and HDL did not show any significant change. The findings of this study showed significant changes in blood sugar, triglycerides and HDL in the interval training group. However, blood pressure and waist circumference did not indicate any significant changes.<br> <span style="color:#008080;"><strong><em>Conclusion:</em></strong></span> According to the findings of this research, it can be asserted that both methods of aerobic training positively affect blood glucose and triglyceride signifying that interval aerobic exercise plays a major role in&nbsp;&nbsp; increasing HDL, while continuous aerobic exercise reduces systolic blood pressure<span dir="RTL">.</span></span></span></p> Metabolic syndrome, Blood sugar, HDL, Systolic blood pressure, Triglyceride 71 83 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4-1060&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Mohammad Hashemi محمد هاشمی 5200319475328460051436 5200319475328460051436 No Dept. of Training Physiology, University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran دانشگاه گیلان، رشت Farhad RahmaniNia فرهاد رحمانی نیا Frahmani2001@yahoo.com 5200319475328460051437 5200319475328460051437 Yes Dept. of Training Physiology, University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran دانشگاه گیلان، رشت Mohammad Ali Azarbayjani محمدعلی آذربایجانی 5200319475328460051438 5200319475328460051438 No Dept.of Training Physiology, Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد تهران مرکز، تهران Manouchehr Soltani منوچهر سلطانی 5200319475328460051439 5200319475328460051439 No Dept. of Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, Arak University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اراک، اراک
