Study Summary

Hypothesis #1: The investigators hypothesize that both swimming training and cycling training will demonstrate significant improvements in endothelium-mediated vasodilation and central artery compliance in this population and that there will be no difference in the magnitude of increases between the water-based and land-based exercise interventions. Hypothesis #2: The investigators hypothesize that the improvements in endothelium-dependent vasodilation and arterial compliance in response to exercise training interventions will be related to the corresponding reductions in inflammatory biomarkers. Hypothesis #3: The investigators hypothesize that both swimming exercise and cycling exercise will improve functional capacities and disease progression in middle-aged and older adults with osteoarthritis.

Primary Outcome

Central Arterial Compliance: Common carotid artery diameter will be measured from the images derived from an ultrasound machine (Philips HDI-5000, Bothel, WA) equipped with a high-resolution linear-array transducer as previously described. A longitudinal image of the cephalic portion of the common carotid artery will be acquired 1-2 cm proximal to the carotid bulb with the transducer placed at 90 degrees to the vessel. The images will be analyzed with Vascular Tools 5 image analyses software. Si
