Metabolic adaptation after combined resistance and aerobic exercise training in older women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study investigated whether combined aerobic and resistance training in older women leads to metabolic adaptation.

Methods

A total of 80 women (64 White individuals; BMI: 30.0 [4.4] kg/m² ; age: 64.8 [3.5] years) followed 32 weeks of aerobic and resistance training. Body weight/composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and resting metabolic rate (RMR; indirect calorimetry) were measured at baseline, week 16, and week 32. Metabolic adaptation was defined as significantly lower measured versus predicted RMR. A regression model to predict metabolic adaptation was developed that included race, age, baseline fat-free mass, RMR and respiratory quotient, and changes in net submaximal oxygen consumption after different tasks.
