Pressure acute response and ACE activity of a powerlifting training session: a case study
Abstract
There are several publications analyzing the hypotensive effect in sedentary and others in bodybuilders. However, there are no data on the acute response in powerlifting athletes. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of a Squat training on blood pressure and ACE activity of an athlete of Powerlifting. The athlete performed a squat session and complementary exercises. Blood samples were taken twenty minutes before the start of exercise, immediately after, and twenty and sixty minutes after the end of the session. Blood pressure was analyzed by means of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device (ABPM). The individual showed reductions in blood pressure immediately after exercise and this effect persisted at all collection time. ACE activity increased during the workout, however decreased immediately after the session, persisting for up to 60 minutes. The results suggest a physiological and similar acute behavioral variables analyzed, indicating that the increase in blood pressure during exercise, may have been induced by increased activity of plasma ACE.
