Summary

This study looks at how a single session of moderate or high-intensity exercise changes blood vessel function in healthy people and those with slightly high blood pressure. 45 adults will do three separate sessions: rest, moderate exercise, and high-intensity interval exercise. Researchers will measure artery stiffness and other vascular markers before and after each session to see which exercise type works best.
