Objective: Arterial stiffness, namely pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an emerging biomarker in
the assessment of vascular health. This meta-analysis aims to determine the effects of …

Highlights•This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to analyze the effects of
resistance training on endothelial function.•Dynamic and isometric resistance training …

Objective: Isometric exercise training (IET) is established as an effective antihypertensive
intervention. Despite this, the physiological mechanisms driving blood pressure (BP) …

Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and an independent
predictor of mortality. The prevalence of hypertension has doubled in the last two decades …

Isometric exercise training (IET) is an effective intervention for the management of resting
blood pressure (BP). However, the effects of IET on arterial stiffness remain largely …

More than 30 randomized controlled trials, supported by individual patient-level and group-
level meta-analyses and a Delphi analysis of expert opinion, unequivocally show isometric …

Background Meta‐analyses have shown that isometric handgrip training (IHT) can reduce
brachial systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) by> 6/4 mm Hg, respectively. However …

Objective The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the effect of exercise on
vascular function in patients with pre-and hypertension. Methods A systematic review of …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Meta-analyses have demonstrated that isometric handgrip
training (IHT) decreases blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Nonetheless, most …

The purpose was to examine the effect of isometric handgrip exercise with and without blood
flow restriction on exercise-induced hypoalgesia at a local and non-local site, and its …
