Domains of Physical Activity in Relation to Stiffness Index in the General Population
Background Regular exercise training represents an important modifier of arterial stiffness (AS). Therefore, sex‐specific relations between domains of physical activity (PA; commuting, domestic, and leisure‐time PA, including active sport and ...

Effects of acute cervical stretching on arterial wall elastic properties
Purpose: Acute (immediate) or regular (mid- or long-term) stretching increases arterial compliance and reduces arterial stiffness. Stretching is widely known to induce arterial functional factor changes, but it is unclear whether stretching alters ...

Effect Of Mirthful Laughter On Vascular Function [PDF]
In contrast to the well-established scientific evidence linking negative emotional states (e.g., depression, anxiety, or anger) to increased risk for cardiovascular disease, much less is known about the association between positive emotional states (e.g.,

Exercise training modes and vascular adaptations
Reduction of carotid arterial compliance and endothelial dysfunction are associated with advancing age and cardiovascular diseases. From the viewpoint of exercise physiology, exercise can be divided into that with aerobic components and that with ...

The renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system, neurohumoral axis and cardiovascular mortality in LURIC
Although neurohormones and Renin‐Angiotensin‐Aldosterone‐System (RAAS) components are important predictors of cardiovascular mortality (CVM), their importance for predicting outcomes in patients with/without RAAS‐blockers and different degrees of ...
