Interval training may reduce carotid stiffness in untrained adults independent of metabolic stress level; hypothesis-generating pending larger randomized trials.
Does heavy metabolic stress interval training compared to moderate metabolic stress interval training improve arterial stiffness and heart rate dynamics in untrained healthy participants?
Both moderate and heavy metabolic stress interval training improve arterial stiffness and autonomic function in healthy untrained participants, independent of improvements in aerobic capacity.
