Why the study?
Does a 6-month endurance-training program improve venous compliance and tolerance to maximal lower body negative pressure in older adults?
Population
20 previously sedentary older adults (>60 years), including 11 men and 9 women
Comparison
6-month endurance-training program vs Control group (no endurance training)

Endurance training may boost venous compliance without improving LBNP tolerance in older adults; leaves open whether longer interventions affect orthostatic stress.
Does a 6-month endurance-training program improve venous compliance and tolerance to maximal lower body negative pressure in older adults?
A 6-month endurance training program in older adults may improve venous compliance but does not significantly affect tolerance to orthostatic stress.
