Summary
Post-menopausal females experience elevated cardiovascular disease risk (CVD), compared to
premenopausal females and age-matched males. Current exercise guidelines appear inadequate to
ameliorate this increased risk and higher intensity exercise may be necessary. Oral inorganic
nitrate supplementation enhances both exercise performance and CVD risk profile in several
clinical conditions. However, the effects of this intervention in post-menopausal females is
unexplored.
