Why the study?
Does aging affect central blood pressure and wave reflection responses during exercise in men?
Population
30 men, comprising 16 older men (mean age 48 +/- 2 years) and 14 younger men (mean age 24 +/- 1 years).
Comparison
Cycling exercise vs Younger men and rest

Preserved relative AIx and PPA responses to exercise with aging; supports similar hemodynamic adaptability but leaves open clinical relevance in older men.
Does aging affect central blood pressure and wave reflection responses during exercise in men?
While older men have higher central blood pressure and augmentation index at rest and during exercise, the magnitude of hemodynamic change during exercise is similar to younger men.
Casey et al. (2008) studied this question.
