  Objective: Research on the untrained women’s cardiovascular health is a hot topic in the world. It is important to systematically assess the effects of exercise duration on cardiovascular health in untrained women. Methods: Published articles from 1988 to May 2015 were identified using electronic databases for randomized controlled trails. The weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using fixed-effects and random-effects models. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis were performed to explore the possible heterogeneity. Results: Data from 28 published studies with a total of 544 untrained women aged less than 60 years were identified. There were significant pooled effects of different exercise durations on VO2max (within 3 months 95% CI: -2.51 to -1.57; I2=0%; 4-6 months 95% CI: -4.63 .. View More»
