Poor trunk flexibility is associated with arterial stiffeningKenta Yamamoto
Health Promotion and Exercise Program, National Institute of Health and Nutrition, Tokyo, Japan
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 297:H1314-8. 2009..These findings suggest that flexibility may be a predictor of arterial stiffening, independent of other components of fitness...
Longer time spent in light physical activity is associated with reduced arterial stiffness in older adultsYuko Gando
National Institute of Health and Nutrition, 1 23 1 Toyama, Shinjuku, Tokyo, 162 8636, Japan
Hypertension 56:540-6. 2010..No relationship was observed in older fit subjects. These results suggested that longer time spent in light physical activity is associated with attenuation of arterial stiffening, especially in unfit older people...
