Carotid cross-sectional compliance, beta-stiffness index, intima-media thickness, and cardiac dimensions remained unchanged after 12 weeks of resistance training.
Resistance training does not appear to affect certain vascular and cardiac parameters in young men.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
In contrast, carotid CSC, beta-stiffness index, IMT and cardiac dimensions were unchanged.
Why this rating
Based on the study's systematic evaluation of these parameters.
