对101名老年男性和女性（平均年龄= 67岁）进行了为期4个月的有氧运动训练，以检查心血管和行为适应性。受试者被随机分配到有氧运动组、瑜伽和柔韧性对照组或等候名单对照组。在4个月的计划之前和之后，受试者进行了全面的生理和心理评估。生理指标包括测量血压、血脂、骨密度和心肺功能，包括直接测量峰值耗氧量（VO2）和无氧阈值。心理测量包括情绪、精神症状和神经心理功能的测量。这项研究表明，4个月的有氧运动训练产生了11.6%的峰值VO2和13%的无氧阈值增加的整体改善。相比之下，瑜伽和等待名单对照组的心肺功能没有变化。在有氧运动参与者中观察到的其他有利的生理变化包括较低的胆固醇水平，舒张压水平，以及有骨折风险的受试者，骨矿物质含量增加的趋势。虽然很少有显着的心理变化可以归因于有氧运动训练，在两个积极的治疗组的参与者认为自己在许多心理和行为方面的改善。
The cardiovascular and behavioral adaptations associated with a 4-month program of aerobic exercise training were examined in 101 older men and women (mean age = 67years). Subjects were randomly assigned to an Aerobic Exercise group, a Yoga and Flexibility control group, or a waiting List control group. Prior to and following the 4-month program, subjects underwent comprehensive physiological and psychological evaluations. Physiological measures included measurement of blood pressure, lipids, bone density, and cardiorespiratory fitness including direct measurements of peak oxygen consumption (VO2) and anaerobic threshold. Psychological measures included measures of mood, psychiatric symptoms, and neuropsychological functioning. This study demonstrated that 4 months of aerobic exercise training produced an overall 11.6% improvement in peak VO2and a 13% increase in anaerobic threshold. In contrast, the yoga and waiting list control groups experienced no change in cardiorespiratory fitness. Other favorable physiological changes observed among aerobic exercise participants included lower cholesterol levels, diastolic blood pressure levels, and for subjects at risk for bone fracture, a trend toward an increase in bone mineral content. Although few significant psychological changes could be attributed to aerobic exercise training, participants in the two active treatment groups perceived themselves as improving on a number of psychological and behavioral dimensions.
