Abstract: A cross-sectional study is conducted to determine whether gene polymorphisms of estrogen receptor-[alpha] influences exercise-related reduction of arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women. Results suggest that estrogen receptor-[alpha] genotype affects exercise-related reduction of arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women.
