This is one reason vigorous exercise shows such a strong protective effect against cardiovascular disease. It gives a vascular training stimulus that many other modalities simply don’t match.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

engaging in more vigorous exercise seems to Prov provide a stronger stimulus for physiological adaptations that lead to increased cardiorespiratory Fitness
if you read any of the randomized control trials too just comparing moderate intensity training to high intensity interval training if you look at the effects on endothelial function like you mentioned in artery stiffness it's it's not even come close like when even when they're volume matched.
