Why the study?
Does regular aerobic exercise favorably modulate age-associated decreases in central arterial compliance?
Does regular aerobic exercise favorably modulate age-associated decreases in central arterial compliance?
Regular aerobic exercise may help prevent or mitigate the age-related decline in large artery compliance, potentially reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support aerobic exercise for vascular aging in older adults; leaves open need for RCTs confirming effects on compliance and outcomes.
SEALS, D. R. Habitual exercise and the age-associated decline in large artery compliance. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 31, No. 2, pp. 68–72, 2003. The compliance of the large elastic arteries in the cardiothoracic circulation declines with age, causing a number of adverse effects on cardiovascular function and disease risk. Recent findings indicate that regular aerobic exercise may favorably modulate age-associated decreases in central arterial compliance and the related adverse physiological and pathophysiological consequences.
