When Load Does not Tell the Whole Story: Acute Effects of Effort Matched Resistance Training Protocols on Arterial Stiffness

This study examined acute vascular responses to three resistance training (RT) protocols differing in load and volume but matched for proximity to failure. Eleven adults (6 males …

The effect of uninterrupted and interrupted sitting on vascular function in adults with Long COVID

Acute prolonged sitting increases blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness (AS). Both of these may be mitigated via light physical activity (LPA). Whether long COVID (LC), which …

The effect of different proximities to failure on arterial stiffness following resistance training protocols matched for volume-load.

This study compared acute changes in measures of arterial stiffness (AS) between two resistance training (RT) protocols that were load, volume and rest matched, but differed in …

Arterial stiffness and wave reflection responses following heavy and moderate load resistance training protocols

This study compared the acute effects of resistance training (RT) between a moderate (ML) and a high loading (HL) intensity (12RM vs. 4RM, respectively), with the same intensity of …

Effect of using home-based dynamic intermittent pneumatic compression therapy during periods of physical activity on functional and vascular health outcomes in chronic stroke: A randomized controlled clinical trial

Background: Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) therapy may benefit stroke patients by eliciting more intensive training sessions that may result in better health, mobility …
