“…Sample size was estimated using G*Power (Version 3.1). Based on a ß error of 20% (power = 0.80), an α error of 0.05, and effect size of 0.25 (Ikebe et al, 2022a;Ikebe et al, 2022b), a total sample size of 36 for young adults (12 sample size per trial), and 50 for middle-aged adults (10 sample size per trial), was suggested separately. Statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05.…”

“…What's more, there may be an interaction between these two types of responses (Haskell, 1994). Based on the fact that both acute ball exercise (Ikebe et al, 2022b) and training (Ikebe et al, 2022a) could improve arterial stiffness, the training effects of on-ball balance exercises deserve investigation.…”

“…Swiss ball is widely practiced in the fitness industry, and evidence shows that it is a good overall training tool for developing core strength, flexibility, and balance ability (Sekendiz et al, 2010;Young et al, 2015;Yu et al, 2017). Recently, ball exercise has been expanded to arterial stiffness regulation, and intervention studies reported that regular ball training increased body flexibility and simultaneously reduced arterial stiffness in middle-aged males (Ikebe et al, 2022a), and even acute trunk stretching using Swiss ball reduced arterial stiffness (Ikebe et al, 2022b). Therefore, it is believed that stretching component of ball exercises was responsible for arterial stiffness improvement (Ikebe et al, 2022a;Ikebe et al, 2022b).…”

However, besides stretching exercises, often included in Swiss ball training protocols were on-ball balance exercises, for example, balancing on a ball in kneeling and sitting posture (Ikebe et al, 2022a).…”

Objective: To examine the acute arterial stiffness changes after maintaining one bout of balance on Swiss ball using different postures in young and middle-aged adults, and to evaluate the cumulative exposure effects on arterial stiffness after multiple exercise bouts in middle-aged adults.Methods: Using crossover design, we first enrolled 22 young adults (24.0 ± 1.1 years) and randomized them to non-exercise control (CON), on-ball balance exercise trial lasting 1 × 5 min in kneeling posture (K1) and sitting posture (S1). In a following crossover experiment, 19 middle-aged adults (53.0 ± 4.7 years) were randomized to non-exercise control (CON), on-ball balance exercise trial lasting 1 × 5 min in kneeling posture (K1) and in sitting posture (S1), and on-ball balance exercise trial lasting 2 × 5 min in kneeling posture (K2) and in sitting posture (S2). Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), an indicator of systemic arterial stiffness, was measured at baseline (BL), immediately after (0 min), and every 10 min after exercise. CAVI changes from BL in the same trial (⊿CAVI) were used for analysis.Results: In K1 trial, ⊿CAVI decreased significantly at 0 min (p < 0.05) in both young and middle-aged adults; however in S1 trial, ⊿CAVI at 0 min increased significantly in young adults (p < 0.05), with ⊿CAVI tending to increase in middle-aged adults. Bonferroni post-test revealed that at 0 min, ⊿CAVI of K1 in both young and middle-aged adults, and ⊿CAVI of S1 in young adults differed significantly from that of CON (p < 0.05). In middle-aged adults, ⊿CAVI decreased significantly at 10 min compared to BL in K2 trial (p < 0.05), and increased at 0 min compared to BL in S2 trial (p < 0.05); however, difference compared to CON was not significant.Conclusion: Single on-ball balance bout in kneeling posture improved arterial stiffness transiently in both young and middle-aged adults; however, sitting posture elicited opposite changes, and this happened only in young adults. Multiple balance bouts resulted in no significant change in arterial stiffness in middle-aged adults.

Three-minute bench step exercise as a countermeasure for acute mental stress-induced arterial stiffening

Acute mental stress (MS) induces a transient increase in arterial stiffness. We verified whether a single bout of bench step (BS) exercise for 3 minutes counteracts acute MS-induced arterial stiffening. Fifteen healthy young men (mean age, 21.7 ± 0.3 years) underwent two experimental trials: rest (RE) and exercise (EX) trials. Following a 5-minute MS task, the participants in the RE trial rested on a chair for 3 minutes (from 10 to 13 minutes after task cessation), whereas those in the EX trial performed the BS exercise for the same duration. The heart-brachial pulse wave velocity (PWV) (hbPWV), brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV), heart-ankle PWV (haPWV), and the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) were measured at baseline and at 5 and 30 minutes after the task. In both trials, significant increases in hbPWV, haPWV, and CAVI occurred at 5 minutes after the task; these elevations persisted until 30 minutes after the task in the RE trial, but significantly decreased to baseline levels in the EX trial. baPWV was significantly elevated at 30 minutes after the task in the RE trial, but not in the EX trial. This study reveals that a 3-minute BS exercise offsets acute MS-induced arterial stiffening.
