Effect of Aerobic Exercise Training in Obese Adults

September 15, 2022 updated by: Riphah International University

Effect of Aerobic Exercise Training on Arterial Stiffness and Hemodynamics in Obese Adults.

To determine the effect of aerobic exercise training on arterial stiffness and hemodynamics in obese adults. Proper evidence on the effect of aerobic exercise training on both arterial stiffness and hemodynamics are sparsely present in obese adults whereas separate studies were done in mainly hypertensive and cardiovascular disease populations.
