Abstract:
PURPOSE:To examine and compare systemic arterial stiffness responses in humans to acute continuous and interval low-intensity exercise. METHODS:Fifteen healthy young men (21.2 ± 0.4 years) underwent non-exercise control (CON), continuous exercise (CE), and interval exercise trial (IE) in a randomized balanced self-control crossover design. Systemic arterial stiffness (Cardio-ankle vascular index, CAVI) was measured at baseline (BL), immediately after (0 min) and 40 min after exercise in CE and IE trials, and at corresponding time points in CON trial. Subjects cycled continuously for 30 min at 35 % heart rate reserve after BL measurement in CE trial, whereas in IE trial, subjects cycled two bouts of 15-min separated by a 20-min rest at the same intensity. RESULTS:There were no significant CAVI changes with time in CON trial (6.7 ± 0.1, 6.7 ± 0.1, 6.6 ± 0.1 at BL, 0 and 40 min, respectively). In CE trial, CAVI decreased immediately after exercise (0 min) and returned to baseline after 40 min of recovery (6.5 ± 0.1, 5.5 ± 0.2, 6.4 ± 0.1 at BL, 0 and 40 min, respectively). IE elicited similar CAVI reduction from 6.7 ± 0.1 at baseline to 5.6 ± 0.2 at 0 min: however, CAVI at 40 min remained significantly low compared to that of CON trial at corresponding time point (6.0 ± 0.1 vs. 6.6 ± 0.1, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION:Both acute continuous and interval low-intensity exercise elicits transient improvement in systemic arterial stiffness in humans. Despite equivalent exercise intensity and duration, interval exercise resulted in improved arterial stiffness for longer duration.
