“…central artery stiffness is increased above baseline during recovery from acute resistance exercise) (DeVan et al 2005;Fahs et al 2009;Heffernan et al 2008c;Yoon et al 2010). Thus, our results would suggest that the vascular response to acute highintensity sprint exercise mirrors that of acute resistance exercise and this is consistent with previous findings Tordi et al 2009). Our study adds to previous findings by noting that the blood vessel wall responds disparately to the same exercise stimulus when a second bout is applied shortly after the first.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the cumulative effects of repeated cycling sprints (Wingate tests) on carotid compliance and blood pressure (BP). Fourteen young, healthy men and women completed this study. Vascular and hemodynamic measurements were taken at rest, 5 min following a first Wingate test, 25 min following the first Wingate test, 5 min following a second Wingate test, and 25 min following the second Wingate test. At each time point, the measurements taken included brachial and carotid pulse pressure (PP), heart rate, carotid artery maximum and minimum diameters, and carotid compliance. Carotid BP was obtained with applanation tonometry. Carotid diameters were obtained using ultrasonography and compliance was calculated from carotid diameters and BP. Carotid and brachial PP increased significantly (P < 0.05) 5 min after each Wingate test and returned to near baseline 25 min after each Wingate test. No cumulative PP effects were seen. A cumulative effect was seen for carotid compliance: 5 min following the second sprint, carotid arterial compliance decreased significantly more than 5 min following the first sprint (P < 0.05). A single cycling sprint reduces carotid artery compliance immediately after exercise. Performance of a second identical cycling sprint further compounds this vascular change, reducing carotid artery compliance beyond levels seen following a single cycling sprint.

“…Other studies support acute decreases in arterial stiffness measures following short-term cardiorespiratory exercise, although this finding is not entirely consistent (Casey et al, 2008;Collier et al, 2010;Heffernan et al, 2006;McClean et al, 2011;Ranadive et al, 2011;Tordi et al, 2010). Arterial stiffness measures can be influenced acutely by multiple factors, underlining the importance of utilizing randomized, crossover designs, rest control conditions, and a detailed schedule that controls for diet and diurnal effects.…”

“…Arterial stiffness measures can be influenced acutely by multiple factors, underlining the importance of utilizing randomized, crossover designs, rest control conditions, and a detailed schedule that controls for diet and diurnal effects. Several mechanisms that potentially explain the acute decrease in arterial stiffness measures following an exercise bout have been proposed, including increases in nitric oxide, relaxation of peripheral arteries, increases in body temperature, and the release of endothelial and metabolic vasoactive factors (Campbell, Fisher, Sharman, McDonnell, & Frenneaux, 2011;Ganio, Brothers, Shibata, Hastings, & Crandall, 2011;Tordi et al, 2010). Cross-sectional and randomized training studies reveal that over time, chronic aerobic training is Downloaded by [Selcuk Universitesi] at 18:37 02 January 2015 related to lower arterial stiffness compared with sedentary controls (Binder et al, 2006;Edwards & Lang, 2005;Goldberg, Boutcher, & Boutcher, 2011;Seals, DeSouza, Donato, & Tanaka, 2008).…”

“…For example, smoking one cigarette causes a transient increase in arterial stiffness that over time becomes chronic (Kubozono et al, 2011). Several studies have reported acute decreases in arterial stiffness measures following short-term cardiorespiratory exercise (Casey, Nichols, & Braith, 2008;Collier et al, 2010;Heffernan et al, 2006;Ranadive et al, 2011;Tordi, Mourot, Colin, & Regnard, 2010), but the acute effect of prolonged and intensive exercise on arterial stiffness is largely unstudied. Concern has been expressed that marathoners may experience chronic increases in central blood pressure and artery stiffness due to repeated exercise training bouts that cause large increases in inflammation, oxidative stress, blood flow, and blood pressure (Heffernan, 2011;Laurent et al, 2011).…”

Arterial stiffness scores over a 5-h period following a 2-h run were measured in trained males (N = 8, age 39.3 ± 2.3 y) and females (N = 8, 35.8 ± 2.8 y). Subjects reported for two lab sessions (randomized, crossover design) from 7:30 am to 4:15 pm, separated by 1-2 weeks, and either rested or ran for 2 h on a treadmill at 75% VO(2 max) from 9:15 to 11:15 am. Augmentation index standardized to a heart rate of 75 bpm (AIx75), and carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), were measured by applanation tonometry. Significant interaction effects were measured for AIx75 (P = 0.039) and PWV (P = 0.020), and compared with the rest condition, female runners experienced decreased AIx75 from 11:45 am to 3:15 pm, and in PWV at 11:45 am and 12:15 pm, in contrast to no change in the male runners. These data support a notable gender difference in arterial stiffness following a 2-h bout of running.

This study compared the effects of a bout of maximal running exercise on arterial stiffness in children and adults. Right carotid blood pressure and artery stiffness indices measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV), compliance and distensibility coefficients, stiffness index α and β (echo-tracking), contralateral carotid blood pressure, and upper and lower limb and central/aortic PWV (applanation tonometry) were taken at rest and 10 min after a bout of maximal treadmill running in 34 children (7.38 ± 0.38 years) and 45 young adults (25.22 ± 0.91 years) having similar aerobic potential. Two-by-two repeated measures analysis of variance and analysis of covariance were used to detect differences with exercise between groups. Carotid pulse pressure (PP; η2 = 0.394) increased more in adults after exercise (p < 0.05). Compliance (η2 = 0.385) decreased in particular in adults and in those with high changes in distending pressure, similarly to stiffness index α and β. Carotid PWV increased more in adults and was related to local changes in PP but not mean arterial pressure (MAP). Stiffness in the lower limbs decreased (η2 = 0.115) but apparently only in those with small MAP changes (η2 = 0.111). No significant exercise or group interaction effects were found when variables were adjusted to height. An acute bout of maximal exercise can alter arterial stiffness and hemodynamics in the carotid artery and within the active muscle beds. Arterial stiffness and hemodynamic response to metabolic demands during exercise in children simply reflect their smaller body size and may not indicate a particular physiological difference compared with adults.
