“…This result differs from cross-sectional studies [15,20,25] but it is in accordance with others [10]. As stated by Wijnen et al [26], a cross-sectional study such as ours may also reflect environmental influences such as genetics and diet.…”

Our results confirmed an increase in pulse wave velocity with maturation implying that compliance decreases with age. An unexpected result was that swimming training performed in children over a long period led to an increase in upper limb pulse wave velocity. This change, concerning the upper limbs which are strongly involved in swimming, may be related to enhanced smooth muscle content of the arterial wall, possibly due to intermittent elevations in arterial blood pressure during repetitive swimming exercise sessions. Whether adaptations to intensive swimming training are accompanied by alterations of the cardiovascular system in prepubertal children is an important question to be dealt with in further studies.

“…Although our results indicated greater forearm venous compliance in resistance-trained men, this adaptation with resistance training may not markedly affect hypotension, syncope and collapse in resistance-trained men because of the smaller vascular volume in the upper limbs in comparison to the lower limbs. Fourth, habitual resistance training may induce arterial stiffening (Kawano et al 2006;Kawano et al 2008;Miyachi et al 2003Miyachi et al , 2004. If resistance-trained men in the present study had reduced arterial compliance, alterations in venous compliance with resistance training are in contrast to arterial adaptation.…”

“…However, it has been reported that there are negative effects on vascular function in that resistance-trained men have arterial stiffening and high blood pressure Miyachi et al 2003), although this is not a universal finding (Rakobowchuk et al 2005a). It is thought that increased arterial stiffness is caused by marked pressor responses during resistance exercise (MacDougall et al 1985) via ischemia of capillaries caused by muscle contraction.…”

Greater forearm venous compliance in resistance-trained men

Greater venous compliance is associated with attenuation of the tolerance response to orthostatic stress and reduced incidence of venous diseases. Resistance training induces tolerance to orthostatic challenge and the growth of capillaries, which may lead to negative and positive effects on venous compliance, respectively. It has not been confirmed, however, whether habitual resistance training positively or negatively affects venous compliance. We compared the forearm venous compliance in resistance-trained men with age-matched controls. Eleven resistance-trained middle-aged men (37.7 ± 1.5 years) and 12 age-matched sedentary controls (36.7 ± 1.6 years) were studied. Forearm venous compliance was measured in subjects in the supine position by inflating a venous collecting cuff placed around the upper arm to 60 mmHg for 8 min and then decreasing cuff pressure to 0 mmHg at a rate of 1 mmHg/s. Forearm venous compliance was determined using the first derivative of the pressure-volume relation during cuff pressure reduction (compliance = β(1) + 2β(2) × cuff pressure). Forearm venous compliance at 20 mmHg cuff pressure was 16% greater in the resistance-trained group than in the age-matched sedentary controls (0.097 ± 0.005 vs. 0.083 ± 0.004 ml/dl/mmHg, P < 0.05). Forearm venous compliance was positively related to forearm venous volume (r = 0.643, P = 0.0009), but not forearm muscle mass (r = 0.391, P = 0.0648). In conclusion, the present study suggests that (1) the resistance-trained men have greater forearm venous compliance than age-matched controls, and (2) the higher forearm venous compliance in the resistance-trained men may be explained by greater forearm venous capacitance.

“…For example, a progressive decrease occurs in the compliance of large elastic arteries and peripheral arterial compliance (Avolio et al 1983;Tanaka et al 2000;Miyachi et al 2003;Moreau et al 2003). In women, this effect may be predominant in central rather than peripheral arteries (Tanaka et al 1998).…”

The cardiovascular benefits of exercise are well known. In contrast, the impact of lifelong endurance exercise is less well understood. Long-term high-intensity endurance exercise is associated with changes in cardiac morphology together with electrocardiographic alterations that are believed to be physiologic in nature. Recent data however has suggested a number of deleterious adaptive changes in cardiac structure, function and electrical activity, together with peripheral and cerebral vascular structure and function. This review serves to detail knowledge in relation to; (1) Cardiac structure and function in veteran endurance athletes focusing on the differentiation of physiological and pathological changes in cardiac remodelling; (2) Cardiac electrical activity and the veteran endurance athlete with attention to arrhythmias, the substrate for arrhythmia generation and the clinical significance of such arrhythmias; (3) Peripheral and cerebral vascular structure and function in ageing and endurance-trained individuals; and (4) directions for future research.
