简要总结
Obesity is associated with progressive decreases in arterial health and function. It is crucial to prevent or reduce the negative effects of aging on the vasculature by implementing appropriate lifestyle interventions, such as exercise training. We examined the effects of a Mat Pilates training (MPT) regimen on arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, PWV), blood pressure (BP), wave reflection (AIx) and endothelial function in obese premenopausal women with elevated BP.
详细描述
Using a parallel experimental design, participants were randomly assigned to either MPT (n=14) or non-exercising control group (n=14) for 12 weeks. Participant in the MPT group trained 3 days/week . Participants' brachial to ankle PWV (baPWV), systolic and diastolic BP, AIx, plasma NO levels were measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of their assigned intervention.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control
Participants in the non-exercising control group did not participate in a supervised exercise program and visited the laboratory at the same frequency as participants in the swim intervention and underwent recreational activities such as board games
Mat Pilates training
The MPT group participated in 3-one hour supervised training sessions per week for 12 weeks. All MP sessions were performed in nonconsecutive days. The MP sessions were divided into the following stages: initial warm up and stretching (10 min), general conditioning consisting of MP exercises (40 min) and stretching and cooling down (10 min). The participants performed 12 basic MP exercises (one set of 6-10 repetitions was performed per exercise). Breathing, a core principle of MP, was performed by forced but controlled inspirations and exhalations, while relaxing and contracting the abdomen, respectively. All sessions were supervised by a certified MP instructor.
