Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The VWF plasma concentration will change after heavy exercise and this change<br /><br>will differ among genotypes. We expect a 60% increase of VWF plasma levels<br /><br>after heavy exercise and approximately 30% difference between genotypes. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Other coagulation parameters and substances secreted by WPBs.<br /><br>To what extent does variation in skin-autofluorescence as a non-invasive marker<br /><br>for accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts and atherosclerotic<br /><br>processes explain the variance in the regulation of VWF concentration?</p><br>
