The purpose of is to determine the preventive effects of Chinese herb supplement with panax ginseng and salvia miltiorrhiza prior to eccentric resistance exercise on arterial stiffness and vascular reactivity by using a double-blind randomized control design and to examine the effects of a 12-week progressive eccentric resistance exercise training on arterial elasticity and vascular reactivity, and whether a long-term supplementation would ameliorate arterial stiffening effects elicited by exercise-induced inflammation and improve endothelial function.
