Read More Introduction: Many diseases cause skeletal muscle microvascular rarefaction (MR) and the quantitative determination of the effect size (ES) of exercise training on skeletal muscle capillary to fiber ratio (C/F) can be useful in refining exercise prescriptions for susceptible population. The aim of the present study was to determine the average ES of exercise training on skeletal muscle C/f in patients disposed to MR. Methodology: A search for English articles was conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases without limiting the year of publication until February 2023. Weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals was calculated using random effect model. Correlation between variables was investigated using fixed effects model meta-regression. Results: A summary ES achieved as WMD=0.21 (95% CI: 0.17 to 0.26) from the results of 308 subjects, included in 22 exercise training interventions (p=0.014, I2=44.16). No correlations were observed in between the changes in C/F and the age of subjects included in each intervention based on action of the moment’s meta-regression model (r=-0.00, p=0.92, z=0.099). Among the exercise duration categories, interventions less than 8 weeks (n=3) had the least ES on C/F (WMD=0.18), while a WMD of 0.22 were determined for both of interventions with 8 weeks (n=7) and more than 8 weeks duration (n=12) categories (z=9.68, p=0.001). Moreover, interventions in HIIT and intensive aerobic exercise training category had greater ES (WMD=0.23) compared to MICT and aerobic exercise training (WMD= 020) interventions (z=9.73, p=0.001). Conclusions: Taken together, these findings propose that the beneficial effects of exercise training on skeletal muscle microvascular density can ensue in susceptible patients regardless of their age, and higher intensity as well as longer duration exercise programs should be emphasized. however, more investigations remain to be done because of the lack of evidence in this area.
