Why the study?
Is endurance exercise training associated with better parameters of carotid artery elasticity, increased cardiovagal outflow, and higher baroreflex gain in normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents compared to a sedentary lifestyle?
Population
98 healthy, sedentary or endurance exercise trained subjects with or without family history of hypertension

Hypothesis-generating for exercise benefits in parental hypertension; leaves open causal effects on hypertension prevention.
Is endurance exercise training associated with better parameters of carotid artery elasticity, increased cardiovagal outflow, and higher baroreflex gain in normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents compared to a sedentary lifestyle?
Aerobic exercise training in young normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents is associated with higher cardiovagal outflow and baroreflex gain, potentially mitigating early autonomic dysfunction.
