“…Unlike the training load during the luteal phase, that during the follicular phase may need to be adjusted based on changes in arterial stiffness associated with the menstrual cycle. In previous studies, we demonstrated that low-intensity resistance exercise training reduces arterial stiffness [23,25,27], and that low-intensity training has similar effects to highintensity resistance training [38]. That is, in terms of habitual resistance training, engaging in lowintensity resistance exercise during follicular phase may be a key strategy for maintaining nor mal vascular function in young women.…”

Acute high-intensity resistance exercise increases arterial stiffness. Changes in blood concentrations of estrogen and progesterone associated with the menstrual cycle affect the degree of arterial stiffness. Therefore, high-intensity resistance exercise may affect arterial stiffness differently depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different phases of the menstrual cycle on arterial stiffness after one session of resistance exercise. The participants were 9 eumenorrheic females (21.3±0.8 years). All participants performed 5 sets of 5 repetitions using 80% of the one repetition maximum (1RM) bench press and 5 sets of 10 repetitions using 70% of the 1RM biceps curl during both the follicular and luteal phases. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), blood pressure, and heart rate were measured before (baseline) and at 30 and 60 min after completing the resistance exercises. During the follicular phase, baPWV was significantly increased at 30 and 60 min after the resistance exercise compared with baseline (P<0.05), whereas during the luteal phase, no significant differences were observed after the resistance exercise. These results suggest that high-intensity resistance exercise affects arterial stiffness differently depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle.

“…6 In the present study, after resistance exercise, there was a hypotension effect in systolic, diastolic, and mean aortic BP with net effects of -13±2, -6±2, and -8±2 mmHg, respectively. In contrast, other studies showed maintenance 13,14 or increases immediately on aortic BP 15,16 after resistance exercise in healthy or hypertensive subjects. Different results after exercise on aortic BP could be explained by distinct populations evaluated.…”

Introduction: A single session of resistance training decreases brachial blood pressure (BP) in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, it is not known whether similar responses occur in aortic BP, which is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effects of a single session of resistance training on aortic BP in PAD patients. Methods: This randomized, crossover, controlled trial involved 16 patients. All of them performed a session of resistance training (R - 3 x 10 reps in eight exercises, 5-7 on the OMNI Scale) and a control session (C - resting for 50 min). Before and after each session, aortic BP was assessed by applanation tonometry technique. Results: There was an increase in systolic (P<0.002) and mean (P<0.001) aortic BP in both sessions; however, higher increases were observed in C session (P<0.001). Additionally, diastolic aortic BP only increased after C session (P=0.004). The hypotensive effect of the exercise on systolic, diastolic, and mean aortic BP were -12±2, -6±2, and -7±2 mmHg, respectively. Conclusion: A single session of resistance training promoted a hypotensive effect on aortic BP of patients with PAD, indicating an acute reduction in cardiovascular risk in this population.

“…Although, a significant time effect was evident for both diastolic diameter (p = 0.040) and systolic diameter (0.039), these significant time effects did not show any significance for the relative stroke change in diameter (Dist). A previous study reported that low-intensity resistance exercise in healthy individuals 30 ) acutely increases carotid arterial compliance, systolic and diastolic diameters, and decreased β stiffness index 30 and 60 min post-exercise. However, HR and carotid and brachial BPs showed no significant changes.…”

Does short-term whole-body vibration training affect arterial stiffness in chronic stroke? A preliminary study

et al. 2016

[Purpose] Previous studies have shown that stroke is associated with increased arterial stiffness that can be diminished by a program of physical activity. A novel exercise intervention, whole-body vibration (WBV), is reported to significantly improve arterial stiffness in healthy men and older sedentary adults. However, little is known about its efficacy in reducing arterial stiffness in chronic stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Six participants with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to 4 weeks of WBV training or control followed by cross-over after a 2-week washout period. WBV intervention consisted of 3 sessions of 5 min intermittent WBV per week for 4 weeks. Arterial stiffness (carotid arterial stiffness, pulse wave velocity [PWV], pulse and wave analysis [PWA]) were measured before/after each intervention. [Results] No significant improvements were reported with respect to carotid arterial stiffness, PWV, and PWA between WBV and control. However, carotid arterial stiffness showed a decrease over time following WBV compared to control, but this was not significant. [Conclusion] Three days/week for 4 weeks of WBV seems too short to elicit appropriate changes in arterial stiffness in chronic stroke. However, no adverse effects were reported, indicating that WBV is a safe and acceptable exercise modality for people with chronic stroke.
