Key result
Endurance training in young men was associated with a significant inverse correlation between arterial stiffness and left ventricular diastolic function (E-wave/A-wave r=-0.712, P=0.002).
Why the study?
The study investigated the relationship between arterial stiffness and left ventricular diastolic function in endurance-trained athletes.
Is lower arterial stiffness associated with higher left ventricular diastolic function in endurance-trained athletes compared to sedentary controls?
Cross-Sectional (n=25)
Is lower arterial stiffness associated with higher left ventricular diastolic function in endurance-trained athletes compared to sedentary controls?
Effect estimate: r=-0.712
p-value: p=0.002
Lower arterial stiffness is significantly correlated with better left ventricular diastolic function in endurance-trained athletes, suggesting coupled cardiovascular adaptations to exercise.

Hashimoto et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=25). Endurance training vs. Sedentary lifestyle was evaluated on Correlation between arterial stiffness and left ventricular diastolic function (r=-0.712, p=0.002). Endurance training in young men was associated with a significant inverse correlation between arterial stiffness and left ventricular diastolic function (E-wave/A-wave r=-0.712, P=0.002).
