Effects of aerobic exercise training on cerebral pulsatile hemodynamics in middle-aged adults with elevated blood pressure/stage 1 hypertension

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We identify differential central versus cerebrovascular responses to 12 wk of aerobic exercise training in middle-aged adults. Although proximal aortic compliance and characteristic impedance improved after 12 wk of exercise, cerebral pulsatility tended to unexpectedly increase. These data suggest short-term aerobic exercise training may lead to more immediate benefits in the central vasculature, whereas longer duration exercise training may be required for beneficial changes in pulsatility within the cerebrovasculature.
