Article Synopsis
- Previous research has shown a link between aerobic fitness and the ability of blood vessels to expand (FMD), but its effect on blood vessel constriction (L-FMC) and overall vascular responsiveness is still unclear.
- The study tested whether L-FMC and the overall vasoactive range relate to aerobic fitness in young men, dividing participants into higher and lower fitness groups based on cycling and heart rate recovery tests.
- Results indicated that while L-FMC was significantly higher in the higher fitness group, FMD showed no significant difference between the groups, suggesting a potential connection between L-FMC and aerobic fitness that needs further investigation.
