On the 400th anniversary of Harvey's Lumleian lectures, this review focuses on
“hemodynamic” forces associated with the movement of blood through arteries in humans …

Aerobic exercise training leads to cardiovascular changes that markedly increase aerobic
power and lead to improved endurance performance. The functionally most important …

Background Studies of the cardioprotective effects of exercise training in patients with
coronary artery disease have yielded contradictory results. Exercise training has been …

Vascular endothelial function is essential for maintenance of health of the vessel wall and for
vasomotor control in both conduit and resistance vessels. These functions are due to the …

Exercise is the most important physiological stimulus for increased myocardial oxygen
demand. The requirement of exercising muscle for increased blood flow necessitates an …

In the past two decades, normal endothelial function has been identified as integral to
vascular health. The endothelium produces numerous vasodilator and vasoconstrictor …

A hypothesis is presented based on a coalescence of anthropological estimations of Homo
sapiens' phenotypes in the Late Paleolithic era 10,000 years ago, with Darwinian natural …

Blood flow (BF) increases with increasing exercise intensity in skeletal, respiratory, and
cardiac muscle. In humans during maximal exercise intensities, 85% to 90% of total cardiac …

Background—Aging is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and endothelial
dysfunction. Since exercise can improve endothelium-dependent vasodilation, in the …

The effects of inactivity and exercise training on established and novel cardiovascular risk
factors are relatively modest and do not account for the impact of inactivity and exercise on …
