Limitations
RECRUITMENT, ARTERIAL STIFFNESS
Interpretation of these findings must be viewed in the context of certain limitations. Firstly, this study was single centre with a limited participant population size including only male participants. Therefore, multi‐centre trials of larger sample sizes with female recruitment are warranted. Additionally, this work was only 4 weeks in duration and thus the longitudinal implications of these findings is limited, especially considering the temporal process of mechanisms such as vascular structural remodeling. It should also be considered that the prognostic utility of upper‐limb exclusive arterial stiffness measures is not entirely clear. The lack of female recruitment also highlights the future need for investigations into the potential sex differences in vascular adaptations following IET. Finally, given the role of aging on arterial stiffness, future research is needed in older adults who are most likely to benefit from such vascular adaptations.
