Background Regular aerobic exercise prevents and reverses arterial stiffening, but the association between resistance training and arterial stiffness is unclear.Aim This study was performed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs) assessing the associations between resistance training and changes in arterial stiffness.Methods MEDLINE and SPORTDiscus databases were searched from January 1980 through to April 2011. RCTs evaluating the ability of resistance training to increase arterial stiffness in comparison with a control group were included in the meta-analysis. Two independent reviewers extracted data and assessed the quality of the included studies. Data from 185 reports of eight RCTs (193 participants) were included. Pooled mean differences in arterial stiffness indices (carotid arterial beta stiffness and pulse wave velocity (PWV)) between intervention and control groups were calculated using a random-effects model.Results The overall association of resistance training versus control with relative changes in carotid beta index or PWV (eight studies; 193 participants) was 10.7% (95% CI 3.4% to 18.0%; I-2, 89%; heterogeneity, p
