Abstract

Introduction: Physical activity serves as a stimulus for improving cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of progressive resistance training and a subsequent detraining period on PWT and IVST indices in sedentary women. Research Method: In this semi-experimental study, 32 sedentary women were randomly assigned to two groups: resistance exercise (16 subjects) and control (16 subjects). PWT and IVST were measured using echocardiography at three stages: before starting the exercise, after 8 weeks of exercise, and after 4 weeks of detraining. The exercise protocol was carried out over 12 weeks, and the collected data were analyzed using independent t-tests, repeated measures analysis of variance, and post hoc tests with a significance level of p < 0.05 in SPSS 21. Results: The mean and standard deviation of the PWT variable in the experimental group in the pre-test, post-test, and detraining were 0.65 ± 0.06, 0.71 ± 0.05, and 0.66 ± 0.05, respectively. In the control group, these values were 0.70 ± 0.06, 0.68 ± 0.06, and 0.66 ± 0.08, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the IVST variable in the experimental group in the pre-test, post-test, and detraining were 0.65 ± 0.05, 0.72 ± 0.05, and 0.67 ± 0.04, respectively. In the control group, these values were 0.71 ± 0.08, 0.68 ± 0.06, and
