Accepted for publication Received 10 March 2014;accepted 28 November 2014 Key words cardiovascular responses; electrical stimulation;tonometry Purpose To investigate the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS) on the arterial stiffness in healthy young adult and middle-aged menusing the augmentation index (AI-x) and hemodynamic measures.Methods Twenty-four men (12 aged 27 25 5 53 years and 12 aged54 83 5 10 years) were randomly allocated to two subgroups: TENS or placeboin ganglion region for 45 min. The AI-x and hemodynamic measures [late sys-tolic blood pressure (SBP), central blood pressure (CBP), difference between P1and P2 (DP) and tension time index (TTI)] were determined before and afterprotocols.Results TENS resulted in reduction of SBP in younger adults (TENSpre: 111 2;post: 105 2 2 mm Hg; PLACEBOpre: 113 1 8; post: 114 2 5 mm Hg;GEE, P
