Carotid arterial compliance

1. Exercise increases carotid arterial compliance in humans (approximately 40% increase).

   “Arterial compliance increased (P<0.05) by approximately 40% to levels that were no longer different than premenopausal women.”

More on Exercise

1. Exercise is associated with carotid arterial compliance in humans (33-43% higher).

   “arterial compliance was 33-43% higher in the sedentary HRT and endurance-trained women than in their sedentary estrogen-deficient peers.”
