Influence of the intensity of resistance exercises on post-exercise blood pressure
Abstract
Once the Blood Pressure (BP)in the post-exercise period may be influenced by the intensity of the resistance exercises (RE), and that different training intensities could result in different responses of BP, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of using different intensities of RE on BP in the post-exercise period. The volunteers randomly divided into control group (CG, n = 7) and experimental group(EG, n = 11), were submitted tothree sessions of exercise with intensities of 60%, 70% and 85% of 1MR and had the BP verified at rest and in minutes 15, 30, 45 and 60 after the exercise session. The Student’st-test was used for comparison between groups and within groups, with two-tailed significance level of α= 0.05. The most important results of this investigation were that: (a) sessions of RE in theseintensities produced acute BP responses quite similar; (b) only the systolic BP (SBP) in all sessions, showed a significant reduction from pre to post-exercise, and (c) only the SBP changessignificantly between experimental and control groups. The conclusion is that the RE significantly reduces SBP and that the intensity of these exercises is not a decisive factor in the BP response in the post-exercise period.
