Journal Article
Effects of interval walking training compared to normal walking training on cognitive function and arterial function in older adults: a randomized controlled trial
2019
Overview
Purpose
This study investigated whether interval walking training (IWT) improves cognitive function and arterial function in older adults.
Methods
A total of 68 older adults registered in clinical trials (mean age ± standard deviation, 70 ± 4 years) were randomly assigned to two groups: one group performed IWT (
n
= 34), and the other performed normal walking training (NWT,
n
= 34). Participants in the IWT group performed five or more sets of low-intensity walking (duration: 3 min per set; peak aerobic capacity for walking: 40%) followed by high-intensity walking (duration: 3 min per set; peak aerobic capacity for walking: > 70%). The NWT group walked at approximately 50% of the peak aerobic capacity for walking. The IWT and NWT were performed for 20 weeks. Trail making test-A and B and carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) were measured in both groups at baseline and again at the end of the 20-week study period.
Results
Compared to baseline, time for trail making test-A (IWT group:
P
= 0.00004, NWT group:
P
= 0.000006) and B (IWT group:
P
= 0.03, NWT group:
P
= 0.003) as well as cfPWV (IWT group:
P
= 0.000002, NWT group:
P
= 0.03) decreased significantly after the 20-week study period in both groups. However, cfPWV in the IWT group decreased significantly more than that in the NWT group (
P
= 0.03).
Conclusion
These results suggested that although both IWT and NWT were similarly effective at improving cognitive function, IWT reduced central arterial stiffness more than NWT.
