Effects of cycling bouts performed with different intensities and amounts of energy expended on central pressure and pulse wave reflection in normotensive and hypertensive men
Abstract:Objective: This study investigated pulse wave analysis in normotensive and hypertensive men after cycling bouts with different intensities and amounts of energy expended. Methods: Twenty-four men were assigned into normotensive [n=14; age:40.7±2.8yr; 24-h ambulatory systolic/diastolic BP (SBP/DBP):121±2/74±1mmHg] and hypertensive [n=10; age:39.2±2.3yr; 24-h ambulatory SBP/DBP:139±3/86±2mmHg] groups. Participants undertook a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test, a non-exercise control session (CTL), and three … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
