Abstract
Habitual exercise may influence cerebral hemodynamics, as it affects other variables of vascular health in this population. We report that habitual exercise training does not influence cerebrovascular reactivity in young adults, as there were no significant differences between aerobic-trained, resistance-trained, and untrained individuals. Despite this finding, the mode of habitual exercise training had a moderate influence on resting cerebral hemodynamics such that resistance-trained adults had greater cerebrovascular conductance compared with aerobic-trained adults.
