Vascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. In order to prevent and reverse vascular disease, regular exercise is actively prescribed.

In order to help address that void, Resistance Training and Vascular Disease Risks details the resistance-training effects on three key areas: arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and circulating vascular-risk factors.
