The vascular responses to maximal aerobic exercise among Indigenous and European adults
FY 2013-14
Summary
Indigenous North Americans currently experience greater rates of diabetes and heart disease, though lower rates of high blood pressure. Exercise is a beneficial way to reduce heart disease, diabetes and blood pressure, and ethnic differences in the effects of exercise may exist. This investigation compared measurements of blood vessel health in response to exercise among Indigenous and European adults. Indigenous and European adults demonstrated similar resting and post-exercise measures of blood vessel health.
