Fitness may preserve leg venous compliance with aging; hypothesis-generating for exercise effects on vascular aging.
Introduction Veins get stiff and less elastic with increased age due to changes in the composition of the vessel wall [1,2]. It is well documented that both leg venous compliance [3-8] and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) [9] decrease with age. However, subjects with high fitness display higher venous compliance compared to
