Effect of PEP'C-R on Endurance Parameters and Maximal Cardio-respiratory Function Among Sedentary Older Seniors Over 70 — PEP'C-R  

Sedentary Lifestyle in Patients Over 70 Clinical Trial

Official title: Effect of a New Training Protocol: the PEP'C With Constant Load and Intermittent Recovery (PEP'C-R), on Endurance Parameters and Maximal Cardio-respiratory Function Among Sedentary Older Seniors Over 70.

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of the protocol is to determine the effects of a new program of PEP'C "PEP'C with constant load and intermittent recovery" (PEP'C-R) on endurance parameters of older seniors.

The study hypothesis: the investigators propose that PEP'C-R training offers a significant improvement in endurance parameters for older seniors.

The secondary objectives are to determine the effects of PEP'C-R on maximal cardio-respiratory function, FMD (Flow-mediated dilation), PWV (pulse wave velocity), systolic and diastolic heart function, body composition (measured by impedance), biological, functional and cognitive functioning and quality of life.
