Abstract

The effect of exercise modalities on determinants of sarcopenia, specifically, lean tissue mass, maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), muscle quality (MQ), and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) over 12 weeks were studied in 42 (45–55 years, 60 days of amenorrhea, with ≤1 h/week physical activity) perimenopausal females. Subjects were assigned to strength training (super-slow, 20 s tension, STss = 7; hypertrophy, 2–4 s tension, STht = 8), endurance training (intermittent, ≥48 h rest, ETi = 7; consecutive, 24 h, ETc = 9) and autogenic training group (AT = 11). ST and ET met 60 min day−1, 3 days week−1 and AT 1 day week−1. Leg extension, incremental cycling with gas exchange, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and blood analysis were tested. The MANOVA revealed that STss improved MVIC (< 0.01) and MQ (P ≤ 0.01). The VO2peak also increased significantly in ET group by 28% (ETi: = 0.02, ETc: = 0.01). A modality-specific effect on strength, MQ, and VO2peak in perimenopausal females was duly noted.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
