Arterial stiffness adaptations to chronic resistance and aerobic exercise: a systematic review of exercise modalities
Combined aerobic and resistance training is the most effective non-pharmacological strategy for reducing arterial stiffness in older adults. This approach may offer essential benefits for cardiovascular health and healthy ageing. Further long-term studies are needed to explore the mechanisms involved and to inform tailored exercise interventions in geriatric populations.
