Abstract

V originále

Regular exercise and diet habits are well-known determinants of the extent of arterial stiffening in healthy aging (1 and 2). Both these lifestyle measures represent clinically valuable interventions to improve arterial biomechanical properties beyond their impact on blood pressure (BP) and other conventional risk factors (3). The association of aortic and proximal arterial stiffness with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality is independent of conventional risk factors and strongest in the setting of higher cardiovascular risk (4). Aerobic exercise has been attractive for reducing arterial stiffness since the demonstration of improved systemic arterial compliance and aortic β-stiffness index in healthy, sedentary young adults (5). Moreover, arterial properties after training were similar to those in endurance athletes in spite of a relatively modest exercise dose (cycling 3 × 30 min per week at 75% of maximum workload; 6). These short-term changes may argue for exercise-mediated arterial adaptations being predominantly functional rather than structural in origin (7).
