Abstract
Background: Beneficial effects of physical training in aged women with diastolic dysfunction (DD) remain controversial.
Objective: To investigate the effects of a short-term intermittent work exercise program (IWEP) among older women with and without grade I DD.
Study design: Longitudinal prospective study.
Study participants: Eighty community-dwelling women ranged in age from 52 to 78 (mean age: 65.5 +/- 6.0 years), identified as being free of any cardiopulmonary disease, assigned to two groups according to their baseline mitral E-A ratio (> 0.8 vs. grade I DD).
Measurements: Before and after the IWEP, an incremental cycle exercise test to obtain first ventilatory threshold (VT1), maximal tolerated power (MTP) and peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and a Doppler echocardiographic examination were performed. Effects of the IWEP were computed trough intra- and inter-group comparisons.
Results: By chance 40 women were assigned to each group. The IWEP resulted in a significant increase of MTP, VO2peak, and VT1, with respectively, +17.4, +19.1 and +22.2% in group 1 and, +19.3, +8.2% and +27.8% in DD group. The distance walked at the 6MWT was improved in both groups. Endurance and maximal cardiorespiratory parameters were similar in both groups before and after the IWEP. For women with an E-A ratio <= 0.8, IWEP was associated with a slight but significant increase of mitral E wave, mitral E-A ratio and mitral E-Ea ratio.
Conclusion: The IWEP enhanced endurance and maximal cardiorespiratory capacities in both groups and slightly but significantly improved the transmitral inflow.
