Key result
Acute resistance exercise increased central pulse wave velocity by 9.8% and forearm blood flow by 38%, whereas aerobic exercise decreased central pulse wave velocity by 8%.

Acute resistance exercise may transiently raise central stiffness while boosting limb flow in young men; hypothesis-generating for differential vascular effects versus aerobic exercise.
Does acute resistance exercise compared to aerobic exercise alter vasodilatory capacity and arterial distensibility in young male subjects?
Acute resistance exercise increases forearm vasodilatory capacity and limb blood flow more than aerobic exercise, despite increasing central pulse wave velocity.
Collier et al. (2010) studied this question. Acute resistance exercise vs. Acute aerobic exercise (30-minute leg ergometry at 65% of VO2peak) was evaluated on Central pulse wave velocity and forearm blood flow during reactive hyperemia. Acute resistance exercise increased central pulse wave velocity by 9.8% and forearm blood flow by 38%, whereas aerobic exercise decreased central pulse wave velocity by 8%.
