About
Post-menopausal females experience elevated cardiovascular disease risk (CVD), compared to premenopausal females and age-matched males. Current exercise guidelines appear inadequate to ameliorate this increased risk and higher intensity exercise may be necessary. Oral inorganic nitrate supplementation enhances both exercise performance and CVD risk profile in several clinical conditions. However, the effects of this intervention in post-menopausal females is unexplored.
Full description
The purpose of this study is to determine whether acute inorganic nitrate supplementation and exercising at different exercise intensities (high vs moderate) improve vascular health in post-menopausal females.
