Protocol summary

Study aim
A comparison of the effects of12-week walking with moderate and high intensities on circulating miR-146a and miR-181a, plasma levels of inflammatory markers IL-6, TNF-α, WBC, some performance indicators and cardio-respiratory endurance in sedentary aged women
Design
Randomized clinical trial with control group, non blinded, with parallel groups
Settings and conduct
Among women 60-70 years old and inactive in Karaj, thirty volunteers woman will be selected as the study population and randomly divide into three group: moderate intensity walking, high intensity walking and control group.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inactive women aged 60 to 75 years; Exclusion criteria: have any inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, certain medication or nutritional status and motor disability
Intervention groups
The first intervention group: 12 weeks walking, 3 sessions per week, with a moderate intensity of 55-50% maximum heart rate reserve(HRRmax) The second intervention group: 12 weeks walking, 3 sessions per week with a high intensity of 75-70% HRRmax The third intervention group: Untrained control group with no intervention
Main outcome variables
Circulating levels of miR-146a and miR-181a, plasma levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, white blood cell counts, static balance, dynamic balance, body composition, cardio respiratory endurance, and the quality of life of elderly women
