Both interventions may improve vascular function similarly in obese men; leaves open optimal approach pending randomized trials.
Does dietary modification compared to exercise training improve arterial stiffness and endothelial function in overweight and obese men?
Both dietary modification and exercise training improve arterial stiffness and endothelial function in overweight and obese men, despite greater weight loss achieved with dietary modification.
