Exploring the relationship between trunk flexibility and arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
BackgroundAs individuals age, the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) increases, largely due to progressive stiffening of the arteries.This relationship underscores the critical need to monitor arterial stiffness as a predictor of CVD outcomes.While aerobic exercise has demonstrated benefits for vascular health, the influence of flexibility, parti
