Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effects of intermittent hypoxic-hyperoxic exposure (IHHE) before aerobic exercise on cardiovascular health in elderly patients, focusing on blood lipid levels and blood pressure.
- Thirty geriatric participants were divided into an intervention group (IHHE) and a control group (sham IHHE) while both groups underwent 6 weeks of aerobic cycling training.
- Results showed that while IHHE led to a higher concentration of LDL cholesterol immediately after the first session, there were no significant chronic differences in blood lipid levels, though the intervention group experienced a reduction in systolic blood pressure over time.
