The relationship between arterial stiffness and maximal oxygen consumption in healthy young adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Arterial stiffness is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in various populations. There was little research on the relationship between arterial stiffness and maximal aerobic capacity (VO_2max) in healthy young adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between VO_2max and arterial stiffness in young adults.

Methods

The subjects were 13 men and 10 women with mean age of 22.9 ± 0.7, 23.6 ± 0.4 years, respectively. Height, weight, body mass index, body fat (%), waist to hip ratio, total/high density lipoprotein (HDL)/low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, blood pressure, heart rate, glycated hemoglobin and blood lactate were measured. In addition, peripheral arteri
