Question

The following variables improve after 12 weeks of supervised resistance training except?

blood pressure

body mass index

endothelial function

body weight

Answer 1

The answer is Endothelial function.

Studies show that exercises, especially resistance training do not have much effect on endothelial function. But it can reduce excess blood pressure, body mass index and body weight. These 3 conditions are mainly due to obesity that is because of excess accumulation of energy which can be converted to fat in our body. When excess fat is accumulated, body weight as well as body mass index are increasing. Excess fat can interfere the normal blood flow in the blood vessels and the flow rate is decreased which induces hypertension. When we do exercise body utilizes this excess energy and gradually that reduce excess fat deposition and ultimately our excess body weight, BMI and blood pressure. But these exercises can’t contribute much into endothelial function improvement.

So the answer of the question - the following variables improve after 12 weeks of supervised resistance training except- is endothelial function
