Aerobic fitness level and peripheral arterial compliance – the role of autonomic nervous system tone

Physical activity has beneficial effects on prevention of cardiovascular disease. Aerobic fitness is associated with higher central arterial compliance, but its effect on peripheral arterial compliance (pC) is controversial. We aimed to test the hypotheses that aerobic training augments pC at rest and during different autonomic nervous system provocations (ANSP) inyoung healthy men.
