Vascular function after acute aerobic exercise in adults with and without type ...
Marôco, João Luís; Arrais, Inês; Silvestre, Tiago; Pinto, Marco; Laranjo, Sergio; Magalhães, João P.; Santa-Clara, Helena; Fernhall, Bo; Melo, XavierIt is unknown whether type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) influences the vascular function response to aerobic exercise. We examined brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and flow-mediated slowing (FMS) of pulse wave velocity (PWV), 10-and 60-min after a high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) in adults with and without T2DM. Twelve older male adults with T2D...
Post-exercise differential response of central and brachial blood pressure in p...
Marôco, João Luís; Angarten, Vitor; Pinto, Rita; Santos, Vanessa; Fernhall, Bo; Santa-Clara, Helena; Melo, XavierThe post-exercise hypotension response is controversial among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Factors behind this disparity may include post-exercise differential effects on central and brachial blood pressure (BP), exercise intensity and inter-individual variability. Thus, we investigate group and individual central and brachial BP responses 5, 15 and 30-min after combined exercise of different in...
Arterial stiffness following endurance and resistance exercise sessions in olde...
Santos, Vanessa; Massuça, Luís Miguel; Angarten, Vitor; Melo, Xavier; Pinto, Rita; Fernhall, Bo; Santa-Clara, HelenaArterial stiffness (AS) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Acute endurance training decreases AS, whereas acute resistance training increases it. However, these results are from studies in apparently healthy adults, and there is no information on the effects of such afterload AS in elderly patients with CAD. We aimed to investigate the effect of acute endurance or resistance training on the time ...
Arterial stiffness response to acute combined training with different volumes i...
Santos, Vanessa; Massuça, Luís Miguel; Angarten, Vítor; Melo, Xavier; Pinto, Rita; Fernhall, Bo; Santa-Clara, HelenaResistance training has been shown to acutely increase arterial stiffness (AS), while endurance training appears to decrease AS. However, the findings are from studies in apparently healthy subjects and have limited applicability to patients at low and high cardiovascular risk, for whom combined exercise is recommended. We compared the time course of changes in local and regional indices of AS in response to hi...

Predictive equations to estimate peak aerobic capacity and peak heart rate in p...
Vilhena De Mendonca, Goncalo; Santos, Inês; Fernhall, Bo; Baynard, TracyEstimations based on the available equations for predicting oxygen uptake (V̇o2) from treadmill speed of locomotion are not appropriate for individuals with Down syndrome (DS). We aimed at developing prediction models for peak absolute oxygen uptake (V̇o2peak) and peak heart rate (HRpeak) based on retrospective data from a healthy population with and without Down syndrome (DS). A cross-sectional analysis of V̇o...
Hemodynamic during resistance exercise sets and rest intervals in young and old...
Sardeli, Amanda Veiga; Gáspari, Arthur Fernandes; Santos, Lucas do Camargo; Ferreira, Marina Lívia Venturini; Rosenberg, Alexander J.; Baynard, TraceyIntense blood pressure elevations during resistance exercise (RE) could lead to risk of acute cardiovascular events. Since, the natural aging process contribute to rest and exercise elevations in BP it could be expected higher BP elevations following RE in older individuals. However, the studies have shown contradictory findings which are likely due to the time of BP assessment following exercise. Thus, we comp...
Acute effects of exercise on cardiac autonomic function and arterial stiffness ...
Angarten, Vitor; Melo, Xavier; Pinto, Rita; Santos, Vanessa; Marôco, João Luís; Fernhall, Bo; Santa-Clara, HelenaObjectives. To examine the acute effect of a maximal aerobic exercise effort on aortic, peripheral arterial stiffness and cardiovagal modulation of trained and untrained patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Design. Cross-sectional study. Methods. Eighteen untrained patients with CAD, 18 trained patients with CAD, and 18 apparently healthy trained subjects were sampled and matched for age and body mass i...
Pulse pressure tracking from adolescence to young adulthood: contributions to v...
Melo, Xavier; Santos, Diana A.; Ornelas, Rui; Fernhall, Bo; Santa-Clara, Helena; Sardinha, Luís B.Purpose: We examined whether exposure to high PP in adolescence predicts carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and stiffness indices at young adulthood. Methods: Seventy-nine participants had their brachial systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood (DBP) pressures taken at the age of 15–16 years and later at young adulthood (29–31 years). Carotid IMT, distensibility and stiffness index b were measured at young a...
