Reassures on arterial compliance safety with lower body resistance training in premenopausal women; leaves open sex differences and needs randomized confirmation.
Does lower body resistance training affect arterial compliance in healthy premenopausal women?
p-value: p=>0.05
Lower body resistance training for 12 weeks does not decrease arterial compliance in healthy premenopausal women, contrasting with previous findings in men.
Fjeldstad et al. (2009) studied Healthy premenopausal women (n=32). Lower body resistance training vs. Nonexercising control was evaluated on Large (C1) and small (C2) arterial compliance (p=>0.05). Twelve weeks of lower body resistance training did not significantly decrease large or small arterial compliance compared to a nonexercising control group in healthy premenopausal women.
