“…However, some studies suggest that high-intensity resistance training is associated with reduced major artery compliance and increased arterial stiffness [33][34][35]. On the other hand, current evidence suggests that low-to moderate-intensity resistance training does not effect on arterial stiffening [36][37][38]. Interestingly, resistance training results in decreased blood pressure as a training adaptation despite increases in blood pressure during exercise [39].…”

“…However, although aerobic exercise effectively decreases arterial stiffness, it does not induce gains in strength and lean body mass, as well as increases in bone density compared with resistance training [4,41]. In contrast, resistance training increases [33][34][35] or does not alter [36][37][38] arterial stiffness compared with aerobic exercise. Therefore, prescribing aerobic and resistance training in combination is proposed as an efficacious strategy to improve cardiovascular as well as musculoskeletal functions in the elderly.…”

When combined aerobic and resistance training into the same session is performed, the exercise order may lead to different effects with respect to factors such as muscle strength, hormone responses, energy metabolism, and vascular function. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise order of combined aerobic and resistance training into the same session on body composition, muscle strength and arterial stiffness in the elderly. Thirty-one elderly subjects (70.5 ± 3.5 years) were randomly assigned to 3 groups; AR: aerobic before resistance training, RA: resistance before aerobic training and CON: no training. Subjects trained 2 times per week for 10 weeks. Resistance training consisted of 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions for 5 different exercises, 70%-80% of one repetition maximum (1RM). Aerobic exercise consisted of cycling at 60% of heart rate reserve (HRR). Significant interaction effects were observed in body fat percentage (P < 0.01) and 1RM (P < 0.01). However, no significant differences were observed between AR and RA. In contrast, pulse wave velocity (PWV) significantly reduced in the RA (8.8 ± 2.1 m/s to 7.6 ± 1.9 m/s, P < 0.05), while PWV increased in the AR (7.9 ± 2.8 m/s to 10.0 ± 2.6 m/s, P < 0.01), and there was significant difference between AR and RA (P < 0.05). In conclusion, no effects of the exercise order were observed in body composition and muscle strength. However, aerobic exercise after resistance training reduced arterial stiffness and difference of exercise order was observed.

“…As far as we know, the effect of walking alone and quantitative investigation of physical activity on baPWV have not been previously reported. Most previous studies [10][11][12][13][14] measured the effect of supervised physical activity sessions using exercise facilities. For older people, visiting exercise facilities appears more difficult than walking.…”

Objective: To study the relationship between the change in the number of steps taken and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) during a long-term pedometer-based physical activity program in healthy older adults. Methods: Sixty older adults participated in this 17-week program. Each subject was provided with a pedometer and was given a goal to walk a set number of steps/day. After five subjects were excluded because of insufficient step data, data from 55 subjects (19 men and 36 women; age range: 65-79 years, mean age: 71.3±3.7 years; mean body mass index [BMI]: 24.1±8.8 kg/m 2 ) were analyzed. Subjects were checked before and after the study. Each subject was informed of his or her vascular age, calculated from baPWV, at the start of the study. Results: Subjects were divided into four groups based on the results of baPWV. The group in which baPWV improved above a selected cut-off value (1,700 cm/s) revealed the largest increase in steps/day among groups. This increase (4837.7±1868.7 steps) was larger than in groups in which baPWV remained low (1406.7±2402.1 steps, p=0.036) and high (1678.2±2871.4 steps, p=0.059). In any group, age or initial steps/day did not influence the change in steps. Subjects classified as having an older vascular age than the actual age on the basis of initial baPWV walked further. Conclusion: An increase in steps/day might improve baPWV. Although walking is a low intensity physical activity, it can have an anti-atherosclerosis effect.

“…In contrast, CortezCooper et al (2008) reported that 13 weeks of moderate-intensity resistance training two or three times per week does not reduce central arterial compliance in middle-aged and older adults. In addition, Yoshizawa et al (2009) demonstrated that 12 weeks of moderateintensity resistance training did not affect arterial stiffness in middle-aged women. Moreover, low-intensity resistance training with short inter-set rest periods reduces arterial stiffness and improves vascular endothelial function (Okamoto et al, 2011).…”

Effect of 12 weeks of moderate–intensity resistance training on arterial stiffness: a randomised controlled trial in women aged 32–59 years

Abstract: This study found that moderate-intensity resistance training did not increase arterial stiffness in middle-aged women, which may have great importance for health promotion with resistance training.
