- AE, aerobic exercise session; IE, isometric exercise session; RPE, relative parietal thickness; EDV, end-diastolic volume; ESV, end-systolic volume; carotid stenosis classification (PSV, peak systolic velocity; ICA, internal carotid artery): < 50% carotid stenosis: ICA PSV < 125 cm/s; carotid plaque with < 50% cross-sectional luminal narrowing; (2) 50%–69% carotid stenosis: ICA PSV 125–230 cm/s; plaque with ≥ 50% cross-sectional luminal narrowing; (3) ≥ 70% carotid stenosis: ICA PSV > 230 cm/s; plate with > 50% cross-sectional luminal narrowing; (4) carotid sub-occlusion: PSV variables; plate with large carotid sub-occlusion. Student's t-test for independent samples or the chi-square test were used when applicable; p < 0.05
