Seven-week aerobic training does not blunt stress reactivity in sedentary adults; leaves open whether longer programs or fitness levels matter.
Does a seven-week training program improve physiological stress reactivity in sedentary subjects?
A seven-week aerobic training program in sedentary individuals does not alter cardiovascular stress reactivity, suggesting that longer training durations or dispositional factors may underlie the association between baseline fitness and reduced stress responses.
Geus et al. (1990) studied Sedentary subjects. Aerobic training program vs. Waiting list control group was evaluated on Physiological reactivity and recovery during stressful tasks. A seven-week aerobic training program did not change cardiovascular reactivity or recovery during stressful tasks in sedentary subjects compared to a waiting list control group.
