The effect of 8 weeks of combined training (aerobic-resistance) on blood coagulation, fibrinolytic factors in elderly men

Fibrinolysis and coagulation are two main components of homeostasis. There is conflicting information available regarding the effect of regular exercise, particularly aerobic training on these factors
The purpose of this study was the effect of 8 weeks of combined training (aerobic-resistance) on blood coagulation, fibrinolytics factors in adult men.
In this quasi-experimental study, 30 subjects of elderly men (age 64.95±3.54 years) were randomly divided into 2 groups: experimental (n=15) and control (n =15) group. Experimental group, participated in a program of combined training (3 days a week for 8 weeks). To compare changes inside and outside group of the body weight, body mass index and levels of fibrinogen, PT, PTT, platelet counts and D-dimer fibrinolytic agent dependent and independent t-test and SPSS statistical software (version 21) was used.
After 8 weeks of combined training (Aerobic-Resistance) of fibrinogen and platelets count were significantly decreased in experimental group when compared to control group (0/001, 0/023) concurrently increased PT, PTT and D-dimer fibrinolytic factor (0/038, 0/005, 0/001).
The results of the present study suggest that participation in combined activities can be very useful for prevention of threatening complications hemostatic system and the aging process and To maintain good health as proper exercise protocol used in these patients. It is recommended that new training protocols and a variety of others, especially at the elderly and vulnerable to be investigated.
