This study investigated the relationship of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with incident metabolic syndrome in 810 middle aged Korean men. All subjects were free of metabolic syndrome at baseline examination. The metabolic syndrome was defined by NCEP criteria and CRF was directly measured by peak oxygen uptake during a treadmill test.

- Increased central arterial stiffness is linked to cardiovascular disease risk, and while aerobic exercise decreases it, resistance exercise's effects are less clear.
- In a study involving 13 healthy men, researchers compared the effects of resistance exercise to a sham control (rest) by measuring arterial stiffness before and after the exercises.
- Results showed that 20 minutes post-resistance exercise, participants experienced a significant rise in arterial stiffness compared to those in the control group, indicating acute resistance exercise can temporarily increase arterial stiffness in young healthy individuals.
