Description
Summary:Vascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. In order to prevent and reverse vascular disease, regular exercise is actively prescribed. While a lot of information is available that describes the effect of endurance training on vascular risks, relatively little is known about the effect of resistance training on such a factor. In order to help address that void, Resistance Training and Vascular Disease Risks details the resistance-training effects on three key areas: arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and circulating vascular-risk factors.
