- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a 12-wk combined training order on maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) in 20 hypertensive women who were divided into 2 groups: one with a strength/aerobic (SA) sequence (age, 56.0 ± 5.2 yrs; height, 155.1 ± 5.3 cm and weight, 78.9 ± 8.2 kg) and the other group with an aerobic/strength (AS) sequence (age, 57.0 ± 10.1 yrs; height, 155.5 ± 8.1 cm and weight, 76.5 ± 18.8 kg). The 8RM and the 1 mile test were used to prescribe combined training. The 1 mile test was repeated after 12 wks, and indirect VO2 max was calculated. After 12 wks, there was a statistically significant difference in VO2 max in both the SA group (Δ% = 29.2%, P = 0.000) and the AS group (Δ% = 28.3%, P = 0.000). However, there was no intergroup difference at pre- (P = 1.000, Δ% = 8.1%) and post-training (P = 1.000, Δ% = 6.9%). The findings indicate that there is no preference for combined training order to improve VO2 max in hypertensive women.
