- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Flow mediated dilation of Brachial artery. Timepoint: before and after exercise training period. Method of measurement: Flow mediated dilation as an index of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation intended as percentage of increase in brachial artery diameter after deflating the cuff compared to its original size.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Brachial artery internal diameter. Timepoint: before and after exercise training period. Method of measurement: brachial artery internal diameter mesured by doppler sonography.
