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

In skeletal muscle, growth of capillaries is an important adaptation to exercise training that
secures adequate diffusion capacity for oxygen and nutrients even at high‐intensity exercise …

Key points• In rodents, resveratrol has been shown to enhance training‐induced changes in
cardiovascular function, exercise performance and the retardation of atherosclerosis. We …

The introduction of duplex Doppler ultrasound almost half a century ago signified a
revolutionary advance in the ability to assess limb blood flow in humans. It is now widely …

During exercise, oxygen delivery to skeletal muscle is elevated to meet the increased
oxygen demand. The increase in blood flow to skeletal muscle is achieved by vasodilators …

The endothelium is the single-cell monolayer that lines the entire vasculature. The
endothelium has a barrier function to separate blood from organs and tissues but also has …

Exercise in humans increases muscle glucose uptake up to 100-fold compared with rest.
The magnitude of increase depends on exercise intensity and duration. Although knockout …

As dysfunction of the vascular system is an early, modifiable step in the progression of many
cardiovascular diseases, there is demand for methods to monitor the health of the vascular …

Key points Vascular function and arterial stiffness are important markers of cardiovascular
health and cardiovascular co‐morbidity. Transitional phases of hypoemia and hypermia …

Exercise training is a powerful strategy to prevent and combat cardiovascular and metabolic
diseases, although the integrative nature of the training-induced adaptations is not …
