Effect of a Single Bout of Resistance Exercise on Arterial Stiffness Following a High-Fat Meal

Consumption of a high-fat meal (HFM) causes postprandial lipemia and vascular dysfunction. Acute resistance exercise (RE) alone may also have a negative effect on vascular function. The purpose of this study was to measure arterial stiffness and postprandial lipemia after a HFM with or without acute...

Description
Summary:Consumption of a high-fat meal (HFM) causes postprandial lipemia and vascular dysfunction. Acute resistance exercise (RE) alone may also have a negative effect on vascular function. The purpose of this study was to measure arterial stiffness and postprandial lipemia after a HFM with or without acute RE. 9 recreationally active men (age 24+ or -5 years, BMI 25+ or -3 kg/m super(2)) completed both: (1) HFM alone and (2) HFM+RE in a randomized order. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) from carotid to femoral artery and carotid to radial artery were used as measures of central/aortic and peripheral arterial stiffness, respectively. Circulating triglycerides (TRG) were obtained from finger stick samples as a marker of lipemia. There was a significant condition-by-time interaction for TRG (p
