STROKE
Rowing exercise training is a feasible and efficient method to increase peak oxygen uptake, stroke volume and cardiac output, and to improve vagal reactivation in older women. In addition, post-menopausal women who underwent rowing training improved their specific work capacity in the exercise mode with better adjustments in heart rate response. In conclusion, older women can row and present cardioprotective adaptations from training, and rowing exercises should be encouraged and introduced in physical activity programs for healthy aging.
