Key result
A single bout of exercise enhanced functional sympatholysis in contracting skeletal muscle, with older adults experiencing similar improvements as their young counterparts.
Why the study?
Does a single bout of exercise enhance functional sympatholysis in contracting skeletal muscle in older and younger adults?
Does a single bout of exercise enhance functional sympatholysis in contracting skeletal muscle in older and younger adults?
A single bout of exercise improves functional sympatholysis in both older and younger adults, indicating that vascular benefits of exercise training may begin after the first session.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Acute exercise may confer rapid vascular benefits across ages; leaves open translation to training protocols or clinical outcomes.
Data from the current study demonstrate that a single bout of exercise can enhance functional sympatholysis in contracting skeletal muscle. In addition, despite aging being associated with reduced functional sympatholysis, older adults experienced similar improvements following an acute bout of exercise as their young counterparts. These results suggest that the previously reported exercise training-induced improvements in functional sympatholysis may occur as early as the first session.
