The impact of physical activity and intensity on clot mechanical microstructure and contraction in middle-aged/older habitual runners

Abstract Background Exercise in healthy individuals is associated with a hypercoagulable phase, leading to a temporary increase in clot mass and strength, which are controlled by an effective fibrinolytic system. Conversely, people with cardiovascular diseases often have a reduced fibrinolytic pathw...
