Why the study?
Does 8 weeks of high-intensity exercise training improve functional sympatholysis in young and older habitually active men?
Population

Comparison
8 weeks of high-intensity exercise training vs Baseline (before exercise training)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
8 weeks

High-intensity training may enhance functional sympatholysis across ages; leaves open effects in sedentary or diseased populations.
Does 8 weeks of high-intensity exercise training improve functional sympatholysis in young and older habitually active men?
High-intensity exercise training improves functional sympatholysis in young but not older habitually active men, suggesting that improving sympatholytic capacity by training may be a slower process in aged individuals.
Piil et al. (2017) studied this question.
