Reperfusion is essential for ischemic tissue survival, but causes additional damage to the endothelium [i.e., ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury]. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) refers to short repetitive episodes of ischemia that can protect against I/R. However, IPC efficacy attenuates with older age. Whether physical inactivity contributes to the attenuated efficacy of IPC to protect against I/R injury in older humans is unclear. We tested the hypotheses that lifelong exercise training relates to 1) attenuated endothelial I/R and 2) maintained IPC efficacy that protects veteran athletes against endothelial I/R. In 18 sedentary male individuals (SED, < 1 exercise h/wk for > 20 yr, 63 +/- 7 yr) and 20 veteran male athletes (ATH, > 5 exercise h/wk for > 20 yr, 63 +/- 6 yr), we measured brachial artery endothelial function with flow-mediated dilation (FMD) before and after I/R. We induced I/R by 20 min of ischemia followed by 20 min of reperfusion. Randomized over 2 days, participants underwent either 35-min rest or IPC (3 cycles of 5-min cuff inflation to 220 mmHg with 5 min of rest) before I/R. In SED, FMD decreased after I/R [median (interquartile range)]: [3.0% (2.0-4.7) to 2.1% (1.5-3.9), P = 0.046] and IPC did not prevent this decline [4.1% (2.6 - 5.2) to 2.8% (2.2-3.6), P = 0.012]. In ATH, FMD was preserved after I/R [3.0% (1.7-5.4) to 3.0% (1.9-4.1), P = 0.82] and when IPC preceded I/R [3.2% (1.9-4.2) to 2.8% (1.4-4.6), P = 0.18]. These findings indicate that lifelong exercise training is associated with increased tolerance against endothelial I/R. These protective, preconditioning effects of lifelong exercise against endothelial I/R may contribute to the cardioprotective effects of exercise training.
