Effects of aerobic training on brachial artery flow-mediated dilation in healthy adults: a meta-analysis of inter-individual response differences in randomized controlled trials
The study found small improvements in <sub>ba</sub>FMD, suggesting an average 19.2% reduction in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, with some individuals-such as prehypertensive individuals-potentially experiencing even greater benefits from AT. However, a meta-analysis based on IIRD suggests that factors unrelated to AT predominantly explain <sub>ba</sub>FMD changes. Further research is needed to better understand response variability in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors, and longer studies are required to assess IIRD in the general population.
