Effects of Aerobic, Resistance and Combined Training on Endothelial Function and Arterial Stiffness in Older Adults: Study Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract:Introduction: Aging is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. It promotes vascular dysfunction which is associated with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Exercise can modulate vascular function parameters, but little is known about the effects of different modalities of training (aerobic, resistance and combined) on endothelial function and arterial stiffness in older adults. Methods: This systematic review study will include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) selected from the e… Show more
