Background: In part one of this two-part series, we performed a detailed analysis of the hemodynamic signature produced during resistance exercise (RE) and discussed the subacute effects on short-term modulation of large artery stiffness and central pulsatile hemodynamics. In this second part of our two-part series, we consider the subacute recovery window as the driver of resistance exercise training (RET) adaptations. We then discuss the results of RET interventions and corroborate these findings against the information gleaned from cross-sectional studies in habitually strength-trained athletes. Finally, we explore associations between muscular strength and arterial stiffness. Summary: Our reanalysis of key studies assessing arterial stiffness in the hour post-RE suggests changes in both load-dependent and load-independent indices of arterial (aortic) stiffness. Regarding adaptations to habitual RET, a growing body of evidence contradicts earlier findings that suggested RET increases large artery stiffness. Recent meta-analyses conclude that longitudinal RET has no effect or may even reduce large artery stiffness. However, cross-sectional studies continue to support early RET intervention studies and note that habitual RET may increase large artery stiffness and central pulsatile hemodynamics. Complex interactions between vascular smooth muscle cells and the extracellular matrix may offer insight into inter-individual heterogeneity in subacute responses and chronic adaptations to acute RE and habitual RET. Key Messages: Habitual RET is fundamentally important for skeletal muscle quality and quantity as well as cardiovascular function. Recent literature suggests that habitual RET has negligible effects on large artery stiffness and central hemodynamic pressure pulsatility, but cross-sectional observations still raise questions about the chronic large artery effects of habitual RET.

Background: Engaging in habitual resistance exercise training (RET; also known as strength training) causes systemic health effects beyond those caused by aerobic/endurance exercise training alone. Despite the…
Background: Patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are at a greater risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) than able-bodied individuals due to the high risk of endothelial dysfunction. Summary…
Background: The cardioprotective benefits and prognostic significance of regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA), increased cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), or both are often underappreciated by the medical…
The doctor-patient relationship is central to the practice of medicine and is essential for the delivery of high-quality health care in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The patients must have confidence in the…
Aortic stiffness increases with age and is a robust predictor of cerebrovascular events and cognitive decline including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Recent clinical studies have investigated the…
Carotid stiffening is considered an important element in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular diseases. These include stroke as well as vascular dementia and depression. However, results of individual studies evaluating…
Introduction: The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a well-known index to evaluate arterial stiffness and predict cardiovascular risk. Methods: We investigated whether CAVI can predict severity and extent of…
Vascular calcification is heterogeneous and triggered by multiple mechanisms. It has been implicated in the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and cognitive function impairment…
Diabetes may induce multiple organ damage; therefore, early detection of individuals at high-risk of incident diabetes is important for timely risk assessment and intervention. Arterial stiffness (AS) occurs as a result…
Background: We compared skin and plasma measurements of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), with particular focus on their levels in the presence of hypertension or diabetes and prediabetes and their associations…
