Lower arterial compliance can happen in athletes, esp. strength focused ones. Also extreme endurance athletes may encounter higher atherosclerosis. This may be surprising to some, but it doesn't mean by itself that they are worse off or that their exercise isn't net beneficial. Athletes commonly have wider pulse pressure. This all shows that focusing on one set of numbers without looking at everything else is not the right way to approach health.
