Cardiovascular risk factor changes associated with six-year circuit training in older adults: a retrospective cohort analysis
This retrospective analysis suggests that sustained participation in a circuit resistance training program may be associated with favorable cardiovascular and metabolic profiles in older adults. However, given the non-randomized design, small sample size, and potential selection bias, these findings should be considered preliminary and exploratory. Future randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these associations and establish causality.
