Aerobic exercise training in healthy postmenopausal women
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the influence of hormone therapy (HT) on submaximal central and peripheral function in healthy postmenopausal women after 12 weeks of endurance training. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in a research and clinical facility was conducted. All participants (N = 23) underwent 12 weeks of aerobic exercise training (walking 5 d/wk at 70%-80% peak heart rate [HR]). Eleven participants received HT; 12 received placebo. HT consisted of daily 17beta-estradiol (1 mg) with cyclic micronized progesterone (200 mg) or placebo for 10 days per month. Participants were tested before and after exercise training. Primary outcome measures were submaximal stroke volume, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance measured during cycling at 30W, 45W, and 60W. Secondary outcome measures were ventilatory threshold, peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak), and resting and peak-ischemic calf blood flow. RESULTS: At baseline, HT and placebo groups were similar (P > 0.05) in age (mean +/- SEM, 57 +/- 1 y), height (162 +/- 2 cm), weight (72 +/- 4 kg), VO2 peak (21.5 +/- 1.4 mL . kg . min), and all cardiovascular measures. Posttraining oxygen consumption and HR decreased (P < 0.05) within groups during each submaximal exercise workload. Stroke volume, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance remained unaltered (P > 0.05). VO2 peak and oxygen consumption at the ventilatory threshold increased (P < 0.05) within groups. Resting and postischemic blood flow were unaltered. HT did not influence any of the cardiovascular responses. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that in healthy postmenopausal women, 12 weeks of aerobic training is effective in eliciting favorable cardiovascular adaptations, regardless of the presence of short-term HT.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
