Why the study?
Does stable high or very high leisure-time physical activity improve cardiovascular biomarkers and indices of subclinical atherosclerosis compared to low-to-moderate activity in asymptomatic men?
Does stable high or very high leisure-time physical activity improve cardiovascular biomarkers and indices of subclinical atherosclerosis compared to low-to-moderate activity in asymptomatic men?
Stable high leisure-time physical activity (2050-3840 kcal/week) is associated with a favorable cardiovascular biomarker profile, whereas lifetime very high activity may increase low-grade inflammation and exert atherogenic effects.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Stable moderate-to-high LTPA may optimize biomarkers and atherosclerosis indices in asymptomatic men; leaves open whether lifelong very high LTPA promotes inflammation.
