From: Effects on carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity 24 h post exercise in young healthy adults
Gender differences in carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity pre-exercise and 24 h post exercise. The mean carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV; ±s.e.m.) for men was higher when compared with their female counterparts (main effect of gender F=4.30; P=0.047). There was a significant decrease in cfPWV from pre- to post exercise (main effect of exercise F=7.28; P=0.012). Males had a larger reduction in post-exercise cfPWV compared with females, the gender × exercise interaction, however, failed to reach statistical significance (F=3.38; P=0.077).
