The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil
during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation …

Senescence is a leading cause of mortality, disability, and non‐communicable chronic
diseases in older adults. Mounting evidence indicates that the presence of cardiovascular …

With advancing age, arterial stiffness and wave reflections increase and elevate systolic and
pulse pressures. An elevated central pulse pressure is generally ascribed to increased wave …

Background Although the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet has been
shown to lower blood pressure (BP) in short-term feeding studies, it has not been shown to …

Objectives Greater arterial stiffness and poor 24 h blood pressure (BP) are recognized as
indicators of poor cardiovascular health. Evidence has shown that high intensity interval …

The rate of age-associated cognitive decline varies considerably between individuals. It is
important, both on a societal and individual level, to investigate factors that underlie these …

Background—Reductions in the compliance of central arteries exert a number of adverse
effects on cardiovascular function and disease risk. Endurance training is efficacious in …

Background Regular aerobic exercise prevents and reverses arterial stiffening, but the
association between resistance training and arterial stiffness is unclear. Aim This study was …

We investigated the combined effect of low-intensity blood flow restriction and high-intensity
resistance training on muscle adaptation. Forty young men (aged 22–32 years) were …

Background Blood flow restriction (BFR) training has been reported to have significant
benefits on local skeletal muscle including increasing local muscle mass, strength, and …
