Why the study?

Does long-term endurance training improve endothelium-dependent vasodilation in older men?

Population

n=20 older men, comprising 10 endurance-trained men and 10 healthy sedentary men.

Comparison

Long-term endurance training (master athletes) vs Sedentary lifestyle (healthy sedentary controls)

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

Associated with enhanced endothelium-dependent vasodilation in older endurance athletes; hypothesis-generating, does not establish causality or guide practice.

Structured PICO

Does long-term endurance training improve endothelium-dependent vasodilation in older men?

Population

n=20 older men, comprising 10 endurance-trained men (mean age 68.5 +/- 2.3 years) and 10 healthy sedentary men (mean age 64.7 +/- 1.4 years).

Intervention

Long-term endurance training (master athletes)

Comparator

Sedentary lifestyle (healthy sedentary controls)

Outcome

Endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDD) assessed by brachial arterial diameter during hyperemic response using vascular ultrasoundsurrogate

Long-term endurance exercise training in older men is associated with enhanced systemic endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
