Why the study?

The study was conducted to determine the effect of two resistance training models on indices of arterial stiffness in young, healthy women.

Does an 11-week resistance training program affect arterial stiffness in young, healthy women?

Comparison

High-intensity vs high-volume resistance exercise vs control

Design

Randomized controlled trial

Follow-up

11 weeks

Key result

An 11-week resistance training program did not increase arterial stiffness, whereas the control group had a significant increase in carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (6.39 to 8.40 m/s; p<0.05).

Overview

Supports resistance training in young women without arterial stiffness risk; extends RCT evidence on its neutral vascular effects.

Study Design

Type

RCT (n=24)

Structured PICO

Does an 11-week resistance training program affect arterial stiffness in young, healthy women?

P
Population
24 healthy, untrained female college students aged 18-22 years, followed for 11 weeks.
I
Intervention
Resistance training 3-5 days a week for 11 weeks, either high-intensity (2-3 sets of 3-8 repetitions at 80-90% 1RM) or high-volume (3-4 sets of 10-15 repetitions at 50-70% 1RM).
C
Comparator
Control group (n=8) instructed to continue normal diet and avoid cardiovascular exercise.
O
Outcome
Indices of arterial stiffness (carotid femoral pulse wave velocity and carotid radial pulse wave velocity) after 11 weeks.surrogate

Main Result

p-value: p=<0.05

An 11-week resistance training program improves strength without negatively impacting arterial stiffness in young, healthy women.

Cite This Study

Morgan et al. (2022) conducted an RCT in Healthy (n=24). Resistance training (high-intensity or high-volume) vs. Control (no cardiovascular exercise, normal diet) was evaluated on Arterial stiffness (carotid femoral and carotid radial pulse wave velocity) (p=<0.05). An 11-week resistance training program did not increase arterial stiffness, whereas the control group had a significant increase in carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (6.39 to 8.40 m/s; p<0.05).
