Acute Effect on Arterial Stiffness after Performing Resistance Exercise by Using the Valsalva Manoeuvre during Exertion

Table 3

Change in cPWV before and after resistance exercise was performed using the exhalation technique during exertion.

Time interval	Preexercise	Postexercise
	Baseline	0th min	15th min
cPWV (m/s)	4.38 ± 0.42	4.64 ± 0.53	4.57 ± 0.55

cPWV at three predefined time intervals when subjects performed resistance exercise by using exhalation technique during exertion. One-way repeated-measure ANOVA (with adjustment of age, body mass index, and systolic blood pressure) demonstrated that no significant difference in cPWV ( = 0.156) exists among the three time intervals.
