The acute and chronic effects of local aerobic exercise on cardiovascular physiology

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise training has beneficial effects for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Effects of exercise training have typically been studied in the form of whole‐body exercise training, partly driven by the assumption that larger effects of exercise training can be achieved by involving more and larger muscle groups.
