Resistance but not endurance exercise training induces changes in cerebrovascular function in healthy young subjects

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings, which were consistent across multiple domains of cerebrovascular function, suggest that episodic increases in arterial pressure associated with resistance training may increase cerebrovascular resistance. The implications of long-term resistance training on brain health require future study, especially in populations with pre-existing cerebral hypoperfusion and/or hypotension.PMID:34559581 | DOI:10.1152/ajpheart.00230.2021
