Does regular aerobic exercise improve blood pressure and vascular stiffness differently in younger versus older individuals?
Regular aerobic exercise is associated with a beneficial vascular profile, mediated by reduced peripheral resistance in younger individuals and reduced large artery stiffness in older individuals.
McDonnell et al. (2013) studied this question.
