This study investigated the effects of short-term (3 months) exercise training on arterial stiffness, serum lipoprotein profiles and oxidized LDL levels in frail elderly people (11 males and 9 females, aged 71.0±9.9 years old). Training instruction was given and exercises were performed twice a week using ordinary machines designed for resistance training. Although there were no significant changes in arterial stiffness, serum TC, TG and HDL-C levels, the value of T-C/HDL-C in females, and serum MDA-LDL levels in all subjects were decreased after training (P<0.05). These results suggest that short-term exercise training could improve the risk factors for atherosclerosis in frail elderly people.
