Arterial stiffness, fatness, and physical fitness: ready for intervention in childhood and across the life course?
Arterial distensibility and its converse stiffness have come of age as physiological concepts1 and now as a target for intervention. The central hypothesis sustained so far is that an individual’s “arterial stiffness” measured as aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a convenient, integrated index of vascular pathology over a person’s life course, more precise and reliable than other risk factors...
متن کاملPhysical inactivity and arterial stiffness in COPD
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk besides classic cardiovascular risk factors. Previous studies showed that arterial stiffness is increased in patients with COPD compared to healthy controls and exercise training may reduce arterial stiffness. Since physical inactivity is frequently observed in patients with COPD and exercise training may improve art...
متن کاملAssociations of arterial stiffness and cognitive function with physical fitness in patients with chronic stroke.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether arterial stiffness is associated with cognitive function after adjustment for physical fitness in patients with chronic stroke. METHODS Cross-sectional analyses were conducted in 102 patients with chronic stroke who participated in an exercise rehabilitation programme. Carotid femoral pulse wave velocity and augmentation index were measured as indices of arteria...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, and arterial stiffness: the Northern Ireland Young Hearts Project.
Poor cardiorespiratory fitness and low physical activity have been identified as determinants of greater arterial stiffness, a mechanism that can partially explain the association of both variables with increased cardiovascular disease. However, the nature of these associations are not clear because cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity can both mediate and confound the associations o...
متن کاملHabitual rowing exercise is associated with high physical fitness without affecting arterial stiffness in older men.
The present study elucidated the effects of habitual rowing exercise on arterial stiffness and plasma levels of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 and the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) in older men. Eleven rowers (68.0 ± 1.6 years) and 11 sedentary control older men (64.9 ± 1.1 years) were studied. Peak oxygen uptake (36.0 ± 1.7 vs. 27.7 ±1.9 ml · kg(-1) · min(-1)), leg press power (1346 ± 99 vs....
