Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or treatment using a real physician. We are not docs. Always confer with your mD on Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women Clinical research trials and Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually measure the effectiveness of new drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for physicians, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all forms of circumstances, like Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women. Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Most times the participants receive treatment for free, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women clinical trial. Subjects typically recieve the finest healthcare available for their Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women condition. Hazards are a reality, nonetheless, and might include more or frequent mD trips, health risks (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women



Effects of Training Intensity on the CHD risk factors in postmenopausal women

For Condition: Cardiovascular Diseases,Coronary Disease
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) ,
Synopsis: The purpose of this research is to find out whether training at different exercise intensities reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) to a different extent. Heart attacks and stroke are the leading cause of death in older women. Reduced variability of the heart rate and increased dips and swings in blood pressure are risks factors that predict the chance of developing CVD as are increased levels of clotting protein fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, and high levels of LDL-cholesterol (>160mg/dl). We will be measuring all of these risk factors and any changes in your body fat level before you start training and after 15 and 30 weeks of training in the form of walking. At the present time the effects of exercise intensity on these factors are not well understood. This study will add to the basic understanding of these issues and allow us to recommend to postmenopausal women optimal exercise intensities to lose body fat and reduce the risk of developing CVD.
