GREEN, D.J. Exercise training as vascular medicine: direct impacts on the vasculature in humans. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 37, No. 4, pp. 196-202, 2009. Exercise training decreases cardiovascular risk, but effects on traditional risk factors do not fully account for this benefit. Exercise directly impacts upon arterial shear stress, a stimulus to antiatherogenic adaptation in vascular function and remodeling. This review considers the impact of exercise training on vascular adaptation in large and small arteries in humans.
