Functional MRI (BOLD) of skeletal muscle was used to evaluate changes in microvascular function before and after aerobic exercise training in older adults. Peak BOLD responses increased by ~30% after exercise training, supporting the use and sensitivity of BOLD MRI to assess changes in microvascular function.
