Nitric oxide was significantly higher for high velocity resistance training (HVRT) compared to traditional resistance training (RT) after 30 minutes of exercise.
Practitioners may consider HVRT to enhance nitric oxide production in elderly hypertensive women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Nitric oxide was significantly higher ( p <0.0005) for HVRT compared to RT after 30 minutes of exercise.
Why this rating
The study design involved a controlled comparison of two training methods in a defined population.
