Abstract

RAMIREZ-VELEZ, Róbinson; RAMIREZ, Jorge H  and  AGUILAR, Cecilia. Changes in vascular function in healthy men after prolonged strenuous exercise: (Vascular function and strenuous exercise). Rev. Colom. Cardiol. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.5, pp.203-206. ISSN 0120-5633.

The effect of prolonged and strenuous exercise on endothelial function in 9 non-elite runners was researched determining the endothelium-dependent function of the femoral artery (EDF-FA). We realized that prolonged and vigorous exercise is associated with lower EDF-FA, with non significant trend toward recovery from 24 hours to 7 days after the race. Studies with more participants are required to determine the impact of prolonged and vigorous exercise on endothelial function.

Keywords : prolonged exercise; endothelial function; non-elite runners.
