Whether an increase in aortic PP during RE is mitigated by a reduction in exercise intensity remains uncertain. We examined the effects of resistance exercise at 10% and 40% one-repetition maximum on aortic PP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixteen participants performed resistance exercise to exhaustion at 10% and 40% of one-repetition maximum, along with a sham control, on separate days in a randomized controlled crossover design. Brachial pressure waveforms were recorded using the SphygmoCor XCEL device to estimate the aortic PP, forward and backward pressure amplitudes, and augmentation index both prior to resistance exercise or equivalent seated rest and at 3-min postintervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An increase in aortic PP following resistance exercise was smaller at 10% one-repetition maximum compared to 40% one-repetition maximum (P\u2005=\u20050.02), whereas the rise in brachial PP did not differ between these intensities. The increases in backward pressure amplitude and augmentation index were smaller at 10% one-repetition maximum (both, P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.05), while forward pressure amplitude remained consistent across intensities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings highlight disparities in postexercise PP responses between the aortic and brachial arteries, which can be attributed to differences in backward pressure amplitude. The beneficial effects of 10% one-repetition maximum resistance exercise became evident when assessing aortic pressure waveforms. To attenuate excessive increases in aortic pulsatile pressure stress during and after resistance exercise, 10% one-repetition maximum may serve as a relatively low-risk intensity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ajh\/hpaf172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,28]],"date-time":"2025-08-28T11:45:52Z","timestamp":1756381552000},"page":"554-562","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effect of Very Low-Intensity Resistance Exercise on Aortic-Brachial Blood Pressure Disparity in Young Men"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-6145-7057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaname","family":"Tagawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Center, Miyagi University of Education , Sendai ,","place":["Japan"]},{"name":"Faculty of Humanities, Miyazaki Municipal University , Miyazaki ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4225-5274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junichiro","family":"Hashimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Center, Miyagi University of Education , Sendai ,","place":["Japan"]},{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Endocrinology, and Vascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine , Sendai ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026031200565196000_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.12581","article-title":"Exercise as medicine \u2013 evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in 26 different chronic disease","volume":"25","author":"Pedersen","year":"2015","journal-title":"Scand J Med Sci Sports"},{"key":"2026031200565196000_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"572","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.185214","article-title":"Resistance exercise in individuals with and without cardiovascular disease: 2007 update: a scientific statement from the American Heart Association Council on Clinical Cardiology and Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism","volume":"116","author":"Williams","year":"2007","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"2026031200565196000_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1045","DOI":"10.1291\/hypres.31.1045","article-title":"Attenuated increases in blood pressure by dynamic resistance exercise in middle-aged men","volume":"31","author":"Kawano","year":"2008","journal-title":"Hypertens Res"},{"key":"2026031200565196000_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1865","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehq024","article-title":"Prediction of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality with central haemodynamics: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"31","author":"Vlachopoulos","year":"2010","journal-title":"Eur Heart J"},{"key":"2026031200565196000_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1058","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9149(88)90548-6","article-title":"Blood pressure at rest and during maximal dynamic and isometric exercise as predictors of systemic hypertension","volume":"62","author":"Chaney","year":"1988","journal-title":"Am J Cardiol"},{"key":"2026031200565196000_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"839","DOI":"10.1161\/HYPERTENSIONAHA.111.177469","article-title":"Central pulse pressure and aortic stiffness determine renal hemodynamics: pathophysiological implication for microalbuminuria in hypertension","volume":"58","author":"Hashimoto","year":"2011","journal-title":"Hypertension"},{"key":"2026031200565196000_CIT0007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"197","DOI":"10.1161\/HYPERTENSIONAHA.107.089078","article-title":"Central pressure more strongly relates to vascular disease and outcome than does brachial pressure: the Strong Heart Study","volume":"50","author":"Roman","year":"2007","journal-title":"Hypertension"},{"key":"2026031200565196000_CIT0008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"848","DOI":"10.1161\/HYPERTENSIONAHA.107.101725","article-title":"Aortic blood pressure and survival study group.
