尽管高血压在美式足球(ASF)球员中很常见，但伴随的血管功能障碍的存在以前还没有特征。我们试图检查ASF的参与对动脉僵硬的影响，并比较大学ASF参与者和非运动大学生对照组的动脉功能指标。新入学的大学生运动员在参加ASF的一个赛季中进行纵向研究，然后与健康的大学生对照组进行比较。用压平眼压计(SPhygmoCor)测定动脉僵硬程度。ASF参与者(n=32，18.4+/-0.5岁)平均由高加索人(n=14，44%)和非裔美国人(n=18，56%)组成。参加ASF的一个赛季导致中心动脉脉压升高(27+/-4vs34+/-8 mm Hg，p
Although hypertension is common in American-style football (ASF) players, the presence of concomitant vascular dysfunction has not been previously characterized. We sought to examine the impact of ASF participation on arterial stiffness and to compare metrics of arterial function between collegiate ASF participants and nonathletic collegiate controls. Newly matriculated collegiate athletes were studied longitudinally during a single season of ASF participation and were then compared with healthy undergraduate controls. Arterial stiffness was characterized using applanation tonometry (SphygmoCor). ASF participants (n = 32, 18.4 +/- 0.5 years) were evenly comprised of Caucasians (n = 14, 44%) and African-Americans (n = 18, 56%). A single season of ASF participation led to an increase in central aortic pulse pressure (27 +/- 4 vs 34 +/- 8 mm Hg, p
