Description
Summary:This study confirms the effectiveness of aerobic exercise on waist circumference, Vo2 max, blood glucose, insulin, serum lipid in middle-aged women. The Ovid-Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL were searched. The risk of bias 2 revised in 2019 was used to assess the risk of bias in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Selected studies were meta-analyzed with Review Manager 5.3. Data were compiled from 15 RCTs comprising 1,110 participants. Overall, aerobic exercise reduced waist circumference and blood glucose, and increased VO 2 max significantly. We recommend the application of aerobic exercise to prevent metabolic disease in middle-aged women.
