Key result
Muscular strength was significantly inversely correlated with central pulse wave velocity (r = -0.222, P < 0.05) in young men, independent of aerobic fitness.

Is muscular strength inversely associated with central arterial stiffness in young men?
Effect estimate: r = -0.222
p-value: p=< 0.05
Muscular strength is inversely associated with aortic stiffness in young men, independent of aerobic fitness.
Fahs et al. (2010) reported a cross-sectional. Muscular strength was evaluated on Correlation between central pulse wave velocity (PWV) and muscular strength (r = -0.222, p=< 0.05). Muscular strength was significantly inversely correlated with central pulse wave velocity (r = -0.222, P < 0.05) in young men, independent of aerobic fitness.
