There is a lot of clinical evidence for this. I propose that it is the product of (turbulence x pressure) x cholesterol levels = plaque formation.
Therefore hypertension is a problem, also leading to plaques in endurance athletes (because of higher turbulence and blood pressure during exercise training).
Thank you for the comment, Professor Halle. I enjoyed your lecture at Am C of Sports Med. I agree there is support for this, but is there a reference where it has been stated and defended? I am always cautious until others have supported the idea as well. I am glad you liked it. Paul
I remember the analogy of the river from a NEACSM meeting in Providence some years ago and I share with my students. Now I have some more details to add to my lecture. Much appreciated
thank you
