No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aims of the study are twofold. In the cross-sectional approach (Part I), the study will be conducted in an older population to assess the association of physical fitness on different parts of the human vascular bed. In the interventional approach (Part II), it aims to investigate whether and to what extent advanced vascular ageing (AVA) in older subjects with increased cardiovascular risk can be reversed by regular walking- based high intensity interval training.

Conditions

Training or control condition

Participants get a 12 week high intensity and walking-based interval training which is adapted to their individual physical fitness level or a general recommendation on physical activity according to European Guidelines.
