Abstract


Endothelial function is the description how endothelial cells, lining the inside of vessels and arteries, function to create dilation or contraction with blood flow. A study to test this will specifically try and find relation between endothelial function due to exercise performance. Using ultrasounds to perform experiments, as well as other laboratory equipment are the main ways to collect data from the sounds waves and thus analyze it in terms of endothelial and vascular function. This could ultimately allow furthering into conclusions about why exercise can aid the human body’s overall health. Overall, in this poster, we will be highlighting different literary sources in order to further explain the testing and research done on these topics.
