Oxidative stress is associated with the pathogenesis of hypertension. Decreased
bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) is one of the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis. It …

Hypertension, or the chronic elevation in resting arterial blood pressure (BP), is a significant
risk factor for cardiovascular disease and estimated to affect~ 1 billion adults worldwide. The …

The effects of inactivity and exercise training on established and novel cardiovascular risk
factors are relatively modest and do not account for the impact of inactivity and exercise on …

Endothelial adaptations to exercise training are not exclusively conferred within the active
muscle beds. Herein, we summarize key studies that have evaluated the impact of chronic …

Highlights•This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to analyze the effects of
resistance training on endothelial function.•Dynamic and isometric resistance training …

Abstract Purpose of Review Hypertension is the primary risk factor for cardiovascular
disease and adequate blood pressure control is often elusive. The objective of this work was …

Background: Blood flow restriction (BFR) training enhances muscular strength and
hypertrophy in several populations including older adults and injured athletes. However, the …

Hypertension is characterized by elevated blood pressure (BP) and autonomic dysfunction,
both thought to be improved with exercise training. Isometric handgrip (IHG) training may …

This study aimed to determine whether:(a) isometric handgrip (IHG) training lowers resting
blood pressure (BP),(b) cardiovascular reactivity to a serial subtraction (SST), IHG (IHGT) …

Isometric handgrip (IHG) training lowers resting blood pressure (BP) in both hypertensives
and normotensives, yet the effect of training dose on the magnitude of reduction and the …
