Key result
A 30-minute bout of moderate-intensity cycling significantly increased central pulse wave velocity at 3 minutes post-exercise in endurance-trained athletes (from 7.7 to 10.6 m/s; P=0.02) and sedentary controls (from 7.4 to 9.1 m/s; P=0.01), but not in resistance-trained athletes.
Why the study?
Does a single bout of moderate intensity exercise affect central and peripheral arterial stiffness differently in resistance-trained athletes, endurance-trained athletes, and sedentary controls?
Cross-Sectional (n=52)
No

Absolute Event Rate: 10.6% vs 7.7%
p-value: p=0.02
A single bout of moderate-intensity exercise transiently increases central arterial stiffness in endurance-trained and sedentary individuals, but not in resistance-trained athletes.
Acute central stiffening after moderate exercise may differ by training type; leaves open whether resistance training attenuates vascular reactivity.

Hoonjan et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (athletes and sedentary controls) (n=52). Moderate intensity aerobic exercise (cycling) vs. Baseline (pre-exercise) was evaluated on Central pulse wave velocity at 3 minutes post-exercise in endurance-trained athletes (p=0.02). A 30-minute bout of moderate-intensity cycling significantly increased central pulse wave velocity at 3 minutes post-exercise in endurance-trained athletes (from 7.7 to 10.6 m/s; P=0.02) and sedentary controls (from 7.4 to 9.1 m/s; P=0.01), but not in resistance-trained athletes.
