Overview

Caution against practice change from cross-sectional data; leaves open sex-specific fitness effects on stress vascular responses.

Structured PICO

Does cardiorespiratory fitness modify cardiovascular responses during mental stress in normotensive men and women?

P
Population
Normotensive men and women
I
Intervention
Cardiorespiratory fitness level
C
Comparator
Lower fitness level / Men vs Women
O
Outcome
Cardiovascular responses (limb blood flow, vascular conductance, heart period, blood pressure, muscle sympathetic nerve activity) during the Stroop color-word interference testsurrogate

Higher cardiorespiratory fitness in women, but not men, is associated with augmented limb blood flow and vascular conductance during mental stress.
