| Abstract | To determine whether exercise training-induced decreases in blood pressure (BP) can be explained by decreases in aortic systolic pressure augmentation in overweight or obese individuals. Thirty-five sedentary or recreationally active men and women (30–57 years) who were either overweight (40 %) or obese (60 %) completed 6 weeks of exercise training (≥3 days/week; stationary bike and/or treadmill) either preceded (n = 19) or followed (n = 16) by a 6-week control period of no exercise. Aortic augmentation pressure (AP), aortic and peripheral augmentation indices (AIx), and central aortic BP (SphygmoCor) were determined before and after exercise training and a control period. Peak oxygen consumption increased (p = 0.0001) from 27.0 ± 5.1 to 28.8 ± 5.8 mL/(kg min) after 6 weeks of exercise. Exercise training decreased brachial systolic (SBP) and diastolic BP from 142 ± 8/94 ± 8 to 134 ± 11/86 ± 11 mmHg (p < 0.005/p < 0.005); whereas no changes were observed after the control period (141 ± 11/91 ± 9 mmHg, p = 0.81/p = 0.34). Neither AP (baseline: 9.2 ± 4.2 mmHg; after 6 weeks training: 8.7 ± 6.1 mmHg), aortic AIx (baseline: 24.6 ± 11.0 %; after 6 weeks training: 22.7 ± 11.1 %), nor peripheral AIx (baseline: 81.4 ± 16.7 mmHg; after 6 weeks training: 76.4 ± 16.5 mmHg) were modified by exercise training. Although aortic SBP decreased after exercise (132 ± 8 to 124 ± 12 mmHg, p < 0.002), these changes were accounted for by decreases in mean arterial pressure. In overweight or obese individuals, although short-term aerobic exercise training, which improved cardiorespiratory fitness, may produce marked decreases in aortic and brachial BP; these effects are not attributed to alterations in aortic systolic pressure augmentation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
