The idea that resistance training is not exclusively detrimental to the arterial endothelium
is slowly gaining acceptance [
[2]
,
[3]
]. Up to now, it has been predominantly assumed that endurance training is more or
less exclusively suitable for increasing blood flow in the arteries to a clinically
relevant degree. However, recently resistance training has also been given greater
importance in protecting arterial endothelial function [
