First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed pilot study tested whether a 3-month exercise training program could improve blood pressure and perceptions in 6 adults aged 35-55 living in Buffalo. The goal was to understand how physical activity might interact with air pollution exposure. Because it is very small, the results are only a first step.
