Key result
Moderate aerobic training elevates resting arterial compliance by approximately 30% in young healthy individuals, whereas high-resistance strength training is associated with stiffer large arteries.
Why the study?
How does exercise training impact large artery stiffness and exercise capacity across different populations?
How does exercise training impact large artery stiffness and exercise capacity across different populations?
Moderate aerobic training improves large artery compliance in young healthy individuals, whereas high-resistance training and established isolated systolic hypertension in older subjects are associated with increased arterial stiffness.

May favor aerobic over resistance training for vascular compliance in healthy youth; leaves open long-term outcomes and optimal regimens.
Bronwyn A. Kingwell (2002) conducted a review in Cardiovascular risk and coronary disease. Exercise training (aerobic vs high-resistance) vs. Sedentary lifestyle / matched controls was evaluated on Arterial stiffness and compliance. Moderate aerobic training elevates resting arterial compliance by approximately 30% in young healthy individuals, whereas high-resistance strength training is associated with stiffer large arteries.
