Effects of a single 30 minute walk on peripheral arterial stiffness in overweight adults

The aim of this study was to measure the effect of a single 30 minute bout of brisk walking on peripheral arterial stiffness, measured via pulse wave velocity (PWV) between the brachial and radial artery, over a 72 hr period. 17 overweight sedentary individuals (5 males, 12 females; mean age 40 (sd...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to measure the effect of a single 30 minute bout of brisk walking on peripheral arterial stiffness, measured via pulse wave velocity (PWV) between the brachial and radial artery, over a 72 hr period. 17 overweight sedentary individuals (5 males, 12 females; mean age 40 (sd 10.6) years, BMI 33.0 (sd 2.9) kg/m2) completed a 30 minute treadmill walk at 65% of their age predicted maximum heart rate.
