Figure 5.

Difference of FMD between pre-exercise and post-exercise according to gender and exercise habit.P values were calculated by RM-ANCOVA and the covariance was baseline brachial artery diameter before exercise. Reduction of FMD after acute exercise was observed in female subjects and those without regular exercise. * P values indicate the difference in each group. † P values indicate the overall difference. FMD = flow-mediated dilatation; RM-ANCOVA = repeated measure analysis of covariance.
