Effect of walking on body composition and aerobic fitness in non-trained men of middle age<br />

Table 2. Selected anthropometrical and functional variables before and after moving program that were collected in a group of healthy<br />

senior women (n = 53)<br />

found. Aerobic fitness (VO 2<br />

max) increased significantly<br />

by 17.1 (7.3)%; (p < 0.01) of initial value. Similarly as<br />

VO 2<br />

max was significantly increased the maximal speed<br />

of running by 15.2 (2.5)%; (p < 0.01) of starting value.<br />

Highly significant dependence of maximal oxygen<br />

uptake on ECM/BCM was found in our group of men<br />

VO 2<br />

max · kg –1 (ml · kg –1 · min –1 ) =<br />

= –2.607*ECM/BCM + 54.857<br />

= 1.70 ml · kg –1 · min –1 , T EE<br />

=<br />

= 1.96 ml · kg –1 · min –1<br />

The relationship ECM/BCM was increased significantly<br />

with the age in age higher than 60 years. This<br />

increase could be described by linear dependence in<br />

following form<br />

ECM/BCM = 0.006*age (years) + 0.543<br />

r = 0.874, p < 0.005, S EE<br />

= 0.05, T EE<br />

= 0.06<br />

The time spent at the described exercise intensity<br />

per week ranged between 95–260 min (mean<br />

156.8 ± 48.9 min). Walking time ranged between 82<br />

and 233 min (mean 142.8 ± 45.7 min). In relative description<br />

of total exercise time it was range of 86.0%–<br />

95.2%. The time spent for other form of physical activities<br />

ranged between 8 and 27 min, in relative description<br />

it was in range from 11.8 to 13% of total exercise<br />

time. Rest exercise was realised like home gymnastic,<br />

swimming, jogging or cycling.<br />

The mean field performance – time in walking test<br />

on distance of 2000 m – in the 1 st evaluation was<br />

1047 ± 31 s and was significantly worse than in 2 nd measurement<br />

965 ± 42 s (p < 0.01). The results of 2 nd evaluation<br />

were about 7.8 ± 2.5 % better than results of 1 st<br />

testing.<br />
