Resistance training improves basal limb blood flow and vascular conductance in middle-aged men and women, but it is unknown whether similar vascular effects of training occur in the elderly. This study aimed to examine the effects of a 12-week progressive resistance training program using elastic bands on basal leg blood flow, vascular conductance, and functional performance in postmenopausal elderly women. Sixteen healthy postmenopausal females (age, 67\u00a0\u00b1 5 years) were randomly assigned to a control (n = 8) or resistance training (n = 8) group, where they underwent 2 supervised strength sessions per week for 12 weeks. Prior to and at completion of this 12-week period, functional and strength performance and leg haemodynamic responses were measured. The training intervention produced significant increases in basal leg blood flow (31%), vascular conductance (34%), and a significant reduction in cardiac work (i.e., rate pressure product) at rest, as well as significant improvements in the 3 functional ability tests performed (30-s bicep curl, 30-s sit to stand, and back scratch). Haemodynamic or functional performance responses were not altered after the 12 weeks in the control group. This study demonstrates that a resistance training program using elastic bands elicits significant improvements in basal leg blood flow in postmenopausal elderly women. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1139\/h10-071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,22]],"date-time":"2010-12-22T11:07:36Z","timestamp":1293016056000},"page":"763-772","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Effect of elastic-band-based resistance training on leg blood flow in elderly women"],"prefix":"10.1139","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Mikel","family":"Ega\u00f1a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland."},{"name":"Department of Physiology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heather","family":"Reilly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland."},{"name":"Department of Physiology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Green","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland."},{"name":"Department of Physiology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"155","reference":[{"key":"rg1\/ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/japplphysiol.00497.2006"},{"key":"rg2\/ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem-70-6-1525"},{"key":"rg3\/ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-1716.2006.01585.x"},{"issue":"5","key":"rg4\/ref4","first-page":"761","volume":"58","author":"Clarys J.P.","year":"1986","journal-title":"Hum.
