The impact of physical activity and intensity on clot mechanical microstructure and contraction in middle-aged/older habitual runners
Exercise transiently induces an intensity-dependent hypercoagulable state, resulting in denser clot formation and a reduced clot contractile force due to fibrinolysis. These findings can help guide the safe commencement of rehabilitation exercise programs for cerebrovascular patients.
