Abstract

Background: Physical exercise is known to modulate arterial stiffness. However, this modulation can vary according to the type of exercise or training. This study aims to compare levels of arterial stiffness among healthy young men practicing different exercise modalities, including resistance training (RT), high-intensity cross-training (HICT), and running (RUN), and comparing these results with a control group.

Methods: Eighty healthy young men were divided into three exercise groups according to the type of exercise they practiced (RT, N.=20; HICT, N.=20; RUN, N.=20), plus a sedentary control group (CON, N.=20). In this observational study, participants were evaluated for arterial stiffness with carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (c-f PWV, m/s) and pulse wave analyses (Augmentation Index [Aix] and Augmentation Index normalized to a heart rate of 75 bpm [AIx@75bpm]). Participants were also assessed for cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max, mL/kg/min) by means of maximal graded exercise testing.

Results: Despite the absence of statistical significance (p >0.05), the CON group showed less favorable arterial stiffness indices (AIx: 1.85±2.99; AIx@75bpm: -7.41±3.00) compared to all exercise groups ([RT AIx: -5.68±2.29; AIx@75bpm: -13.98±2.41]; [HICT AIx: -1.36±2.20; AIx@75bpm: -10.26±2.16]; [RUN AIx: -2.29±3.09; AIx@75bpm: -7.14±3.09]). The RUN group showed significantly higher VO2max than the other groups (RUN vs. CON, P<0.001; RUN vs. RT, P<0.001; and RUN vs. HICT, P<0.001).

Conclusions: The findings suggest that arterial stiffness does not differ according to different exercise modalities practiced by healthy young men.

比较不同训练方式对健康年轻男性动脉僵硬度的影响。

背景：众所周知，体育锻炼可以调节动脉硬化。然而，这种调节可以根据运动或训练的类型而变化。本研究旨在比较不同运动方式（包括阻力训练（RT）、高强度交叉训练（HICT）和跑步（RUN））的健康年轻男性的动脉僵硬水平，并将这些结果与对照组进行比较。方法：80名健康青年男性按运动类型分为3组（RT组，n =20； HICT组，n =20； RUN组，n =20），另加一个久坐对照组（CON组，n =20）。在这项观察性研究中，通过颈-股脉搏波速度（c-f PWV, m/s）和脉搏波分析（增强指数[Aix]和归一化心率为75bpm的增强指数[AIx@75bpm]）评估参与者的动脉硬度。参与者还通过最大分级运动测试评估心肺功能（VO2max, mL/kg/min）。结果：尽管无统计学意义（p >0.05），但CON组动脉僵硬指数（AIx: 1.85±2.99;AIx@75bpm: -7.41±3.00）低于所有运动组（[RT组AIx: -5.68±2.29;AIx@75bpm: -13.98±2.41]；[HICT组AIx: -1.36±2.20;AIx@75bpm: -10.26±2.16]；[RUN组AIx: -2.29±3.09;AIx@75bpm: -7.14±3.09]）。RUN组的最大摄氧量明显高于其他组（RUN vs. CON, p）。结论：研究结果表明，健康年轻男性的动脉僵硬度并没有因不同的运动方式而不同。
