Sex differences in aortic stiffness following acute resistance exercise

扫码查看
There are established sex differences in vascular structure and function and neurovascular blood pressure (BP) regulation at rest and in response to various stressors. Acute resistance exercise (RE) imposes a unique hemodynamic stress on the heart and central vasculature, resulting in functional increases in aortic stiffness. Increases in aortic stiffness in response to acute RE are seen in men and women. Whether there are sex differences in aortic stiffness and central BP in response to acute RE remains poorly examined. The purpose of this study was to examine sex differences in aortic stiffness and central BP in response to acute RE. We hypothesized that women would have an attenuated increase in aortic stiffness and central BP in response to acute RE.
