Key result
Relative to moderate intensity walking, an acute bout of swimming exercise did not decrease blood pressure and significantly increased aortic augmentation index at 20 minutes post-exercise.
Why the study?
Does an acute bout of swimming exercise affect blood pressure and arterial stiffness compared to walking exercise in healthy young subjects?
RCT (n=26)

Does an acute bout of swimming exercise affect blood pressure and arterial stiffness compared to walking exercise in healthy young subjects?
p-value: p=<.05
Relative to moderate intensity walking, acute swimming is less effective at decreasing blood pressure and arterial stiffness in young healthy subjects.

Eunsun-Yoon et al. (2012) conducted an RCT in Healthy (n=26). Acute swimming exercise vs. Walking exercise (30-minute at same intensity) was evaluated on Aortic augmentation index at 20 minutes post-exercise (p=<.05). Relative to moderate intensity walking, an acute bout of swimming exercise did not decrease blood pressure and significantly increased aortic augmentation index at 20 minutes post-exercise.
