	Intervention, mean ± SD (n=16)			Control, mean ± SD (n=7)
Variable	Baseline	12 wk	Change	Baseline	12 wk	Change	P
PWV, cm/s	8.2 ± 2.2	8.6 ± 1.7	0.4 ± 1.9	8.7 ± 2.2	9.7 ± 2.9	1.0 ± 3.3	0.30
AIx	21.4 ± 9.2	23.9 ± 7.4	2.6 ± 10.0	19.0 ± 9.9	21.6 ± 7.3	2.6 ± 5.7	0.64
AAP, mm Hg	8.4 ± 4.0	9 ± 3.3	0.6 ± 4.4	8.4 ± 7.0	9.7 ± 5.3	1.3 ± 3.5	0.63
Alx75	19 ± 7.5	21.2 ± 5.9	2.3 ± 7.5	14.6 ± 10.2	15.6 ± 8.5	1.1 ± 6.6	0.20

The P values were calculated using ANCOVA.

AAP, aortic augmented pressure; AIx, augmentation index; Alx75, augmentation index corrected for heart rate of 75 beats per min; PWV, pulse wave velocity.
