Does manipulation of arterial shear stress enhance cerebrovascular function and cognition in the aging brain? Design, rationale and recruitment for the Preventia randomised clinical trial

DiscussionWater-based versus land-based exercise elicit different haemodynamic responses and, consequently, distinct patterns of shear stress in arteries, including those supplying the brain. If the exercise programs prove beneficial, this will inform future strategies for the prevention of cerebrovascular decline in the ageing ‘healthy’ population.
