Metabolic adaptation
Endurance training resulted in a faster increase in femoral artery mean blood velocity (MBV) at the onset of exercise, with T63% decreasing from 14.2 +/- 2.1 s on Day 0 to 8.6 +/- 1.2 s after 10 days of training.
Endurance training can enhance the speed of blood flow response during exercise, which may improve performance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
In the ET group the time to 63% (T63%) of the approximately exponential increase in MBV following 10 days of training (8.6 +/- 1.2 s, mean +/- s.e.) was significantly faster than the Day 0 response (14.2 +/- 2.1 s, P < 0.05).
Why this rating
Based on the controlled study design with clear measurements.
