Abstract
Summary Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare and analyse the different effects of long-term endurance training and sprint training on vascular elasticity, reveal vascular elasticity characteristics in athletes. Equipment and methods Fourteen female long-distance runners (aged 19.9 ± 0.8 years), 14 female sprinters (aged 20.2 ± 0.9 years) and 14 female college students (aged 18.8 ± 0.6 years) of non-sports majors were selected as subjects. They were tested the indexes at rest, including arterial pulse wave conduction velocity (PWV) and arm ankle index (ABI), mean arterial pressure percentage (%MAP), pulse wave rise time (UT), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure. Results The sprinters group (SG) are significantly higher than the control group (CG) in PWV (SG 1181.79 ± 94.29 cm/s, CG 960.71 ± 77.66 cm/s, P
