Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how oral estrogen therapy and aerobic training affect cardiorespiratory fitness in postmenopausal women.
- Four groups of 42 postmenopausal women were evaluated through a double-blind method, with one group on placebo and the others receiving estrogen therapy alone, aerobic training alone, or both.
- Results showed that aerobic training improved oxygen uptake during exercise, but those on estrogen therapy experienced smaller increases in cardiorespiratory fitness compared to the placebo groups.
