| description | Vascular endothelial function, which plays an important independent role in the
onset of cardiovascular disease, often changes seasonally, with functional
deterioration generally occurring during the winter. Physical activity is
necessary for preventing cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, as it
improves vascular endothelial and metabolic function; however, the amount of
physical activity an individual gets also varies with the seasons. Changes in
physical activity may induce seasonal variations in vascular endothelial
function, although this hypothesis remains unconfirmed. An individual’s sex can
also affect their vascular endothelial function, habitual physical activity, and
hormonal and metabolic function. Men have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease
compared to women; therefore, clarifying the impact of physical activity on
vascular endothelial function and its seasonality is important for managing men’s
health. The purpose of this article is to review the association between seasonal
variations in vascular endothelial function and physical activity in men. |
