Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 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
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Brachial artery internal diameter. Timepoint: before and after exercise training period. Method of measurement: brachial artery internal diameter mesured by doppler sonography. | — |
