Strength training makes the arteries stiffer, according to some studies. In theory this means that strength athletes are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. If this is the case, then creatine supplementation may help, according to a recent American study we wrote about yesterday. We came up with another strategy to overcome the potentially negative cardiovascular effects of strength training after reading a Japanese study that was published in 2007.
The conclusion was a short cardio session after the strength workout cancels out the negative effect of the strength workout. The arteries of the test subjects even seem to be a bit healthier as a result of doing cardio after the strength workout.
Now many strength athletes can't stand doing cardio. But a 20-minute session, at an intensity where you can still chat to your neighbor, is not much to ask. Is it?
