Evaluation of post-aerobic exercise hemodynamics behavior in active men

Abstract

Introduction: The technological development has facilitated the life of humans giving them a certain comfort and reduction of manual workload. In contrast to this fact, it has made their lives less active and therefore sedentary, combining this behavior with poor nutrition a consequence is the expressive increase in the number of diseases, of which we can highlight the cardiopathies, which is together with the metabolic syndromes one of the great causes of mortality in the contemporaneity. These chronic pathologies have grown in recent years and they are considered a major public health problem. A sensitive improvement in blood pressure, for example, would be enough to be a protective factor for the organism. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate heart rate response, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure after 60 minutes of running with moderate intensity between 60 and 80% of maximal heart rate. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five men (23 ± 3.96 years), active, with a weekly minimum frequency of three days participated in the study. The acute session was performed in indoor environment, heart rate behavior record, systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure were taken before and during a 60-minute post-exercise recovery period. The Shapiro-Wilk test used to evaluate the normality of the data. Baseline momentum comparisons and post-exercise recovery performed using the one-way ANOVA test with Tukey's post hoc test. The level of statistical significance was set at p <0.05. Results and discussion: The systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure were reduced in the post-exercise period, reaching their lowest value at minute 50 (115 ± 10 mmHg, 70 ± 10 mmHg, 85 ± 9 mmHg), respectively. Conclusion: It concluded that active men present hypotension after 60 minutes of running indoors.
