Trekking includes downhill walking and enhances lower limb strength. Muscle fitness is a predictor of mortality and is associated with cardio-vascular risk factors in adults. The purpose of this study was to investi-gate the effects of trekking on cardiovascular health and fitness in older obese women. The participants were randomly assigned to an exercise group (EG, n=32) and a control group (CG, n=48). The EG participated in the trekking program for 12 weeks, 3 times per week, and 90 min per session, at a moderate intensity. Cardiovascular health (BMI, percent-age of body fat, blood pressure, glucose, triglycerides, and total choles-terol) and fitness (muscle strength, muscle endurance, balance, and flexibility) were measured before and after the 12-week program. A two-way repeated ANOVA was used to compare and analyze the group dif-ferences. Body weight, systolic blood pressure, and muscle strength were significantly different between the groups. These results indicate that trekking played a significant role in the reduction of weight and sys-tolic blood pressure in obese women. The results of this study can be utilized to reduce cardiovascular risk factors associated with aging.
