AbstractThis study investigated the acute post-exercise effect of high-velocity resistance exercise on ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive older women. Fourteen volunteers (67.9±5.1 years) performed a high-velocity resistance exercise session (8 exercises using Thera-Band, 3 sets of 6 repetitions as fast as possible in the concentric phase with moderate intensity) and a control session, separated by a 7–10-day period. Ambulatory blood pressure was monitored following 12-h post-sessions and compared between conditions at 1 to 4-h, 5 to 8-h, and 9 to 12-h. Average 24-h ambulatory blood pressure, awake, asleep periods, and blood pressure load were also analyzed. There was a condition by time interaction for systolic ambulatory blood pressure over 12-h post-sessions (P=0.043). It was observed a lower systolic ambulatory blood pressure in the first 4-h period following the high-velocity resistance exercise session compared to the control session (−6.7 mmHg, 95% CI  − 11.6 to −1.8 mmHg; P=0.011). No changes were observed for diastolic ambulatory blood pressure over 12-h post-sessions as well as for the other variables analyzed (P>0.05). In summary, a single high-velocity resistance exercise session elicits a post-exercise antihypertensive effect and may be considered as a strategy to acutely improve blood pressure control in hypertensive older women.

Objective: to analyze the post exercise cardiovascular effects of different resistance exercise protocols for trunk and upper limbs. Methods: Fifteen males (22.3 ± 0.9 years) underwent three experimental sessions randomly: control session (C), resistance exercise session at 50% of one repetition maximum (1-RM) (E50%), and resistance exercise session at 70% of 1-RM (E70%). Three sets of 12, 9 and 6 repetitions were performed for each exercise. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and rate pressure product (RPP) were measured before and during 90 minutes after each session. Results: Systolic BP decreased (P<.05) and diastolic BP increased (P<.05) similarly after C, E50% and E70%. However, HR and RPP decreased after C (P<.01), maintained after E50%, and increased after E70% (P<.01). Conclusions: The resistance exercise intensity did not influence post-exercise BP responses, however, cardiac overload was greater after E70%

Abstract Objective: The aim of the present study was to verify the behavior of hemodynamic variables in hypertensive older women following a combined exercise session and to identify the intensity of effort achieved in this session. Method: The study included 14 hypertensive older women (72.0±6.7 years old) who regularly practiced physical activities. The participants underwent a one-hour combined exercise session performed in a group, with intensity of effort monitored by accelerometry (Actigraph, model GT3X+). The hemodynamic parameters (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance) were individually measured by finger photoplethysmography (Finometer) before and after (60 min) the exercise session. Results: The sessions consisted predominantly of low-light intensity activities (60%) and 20% of class time was spent on sedentary behavior. None of the evaluated variables exhibited changes when the pre and post-exercise values were compared (p>0.05). Systolic blood pressure behavior correlated positively with time spent in sedentary behavior (r=0.541; p=0.045). Conclusion: The combined exercise sessions, as conducted, did not generate post-exercise hypotension. In addition, the time spent in typically sedentary activities during the classes positively correlated with changes in blood pressure, suggesting that combined exercise programs, applied in the form of collective aerobic exercises, should be composed of higher intensity activities.

Aim: To compare the acute effects of two resistance exercise sessions with different partial blood flow restrictions (BFR) on hemodynamic parameters and cardiac autonomic modulation in older women with metabolic syndrome. Methods: Thirty-nine older women (64.4 ± 4.5 years) were allocated into three groups: BFR0 = resistance exercise (20%, 1 maximum repetition [MR]) + 0% BFR; BFR60 = 20% 1 MR resistance exercise + 60% BFR; and BFR80 = 20% 1MR resistance exercise + 80% BFR. Results: A reduction of 14 mmHg (BFR60 group) and 13 mmHg (BRF80 group) was observed 48 hr after the first exercise session, while vagal modulation was increased in the BRF60 group after 24 and 48 hr. Conclusion: A low-intensity resistance exercise session with 60% and 80% of BFR resulted in blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean) reduction and positive changes on heart rate variability after 24 h of a RE session.

 Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that results in the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, implying the use of insulin therapy to maintain adequate blood glucose levels. When stimulated by physical exercise, glycemic homeostasis becomes impaired, providing complications in the daily lives of this population, constituting a barrier to physical exercise practice. Objective: To evaluate the glycemic safety of a resistance exercise session of moderate intensity in people with type 1 diabetes. Methods: 12 people with type 1 diabetes (7 men), performed a resistance exercise session of moderate intensity at 60% of 1 RM consisting of 7 exercises. Capillary blood glucose was assessed at the pre-session (GP), immediately after (G IA) and 20 minutes after (G 20). ANOVA for repeated measures was performed (p <0.05). Results: In the absolute values of glycemia, no significant differences were found (P = 0.061). However, when checking the delta blood glucose variation, a difference was found between G IA and G20 vs GP (P <0.05). Clinically important reductions above 20mg / dl (PI: ~ 37mg / dl; 20P: ~ 45mg / dl) without providing hypoglycemia. Conclusion: A moderate-intensity resistance exercise session proved to be safe from a glycemic point of view in people with type 1 diabetes.Keywords: diabetes mellitus type 1, resistance training, exercise.

Introduction: Patients with resistant hypertension are usually exposed to poor blood pressure (BP) control, resulting in clinical vulnerability, possibility of device-based procedures (denervation), and cumulative costs with drug therapy. Regular aerobic exercise promotes marked benefits in hypertension, including the subset of resistant patients. However, little is known about acute effects of exercise on patients with resistant hypertension. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that a single aerobic session would reduce BP and improve vascular variables. Thus, we compared ambulatory BP and vascular parameters in response to two intensities of aerobic sessions and a non-exercise control session in patients with resistant hypertension. Methods: After a maximal exercise test, 18 patients (54±6 years, 30.2±4.9 kg/m2) participated in three interventions in random order, crossover design, and on separate days: control session (45’ of rest), light intensity (LI) and moderate intensity (MI) sessions (45’ of aerobic exercise at 50% and 75% of HRmax, respectively). Ambulatory BP monitoring (Space Labs, 90702) comprised a 19h period after each session. Vascular variables were measured at the non-dominant forearm by venous occlusion plethysmography (Hokanson Inc) before and up to 1h after all sessions. Results: Compared with control session, both exercise sessions reduced ambulatory systolic BP in a 5h period (LI: -7.7±2.4mm Hg and MI: -9.4±2.8mm Hg, p<0.01), whereas only LI session reduced diastolic BP (-5.7±2.2mm Hg, p<0.01). In addition, LI induced lower values in systolic and diastolic BP during 10h-daytime (-3.8±1.3mm Hg and -4.0±1.3mm Hg, respectively, p<0.02), nighttime (-6.0±2.4 mm Hg and -6.1±1.6mm Hg, respectively, p<0.05) and in diastolic BP during 19h (-4.8±1.2mm Hg, p<0.01). Forearm blood flow decreased only at minute 50 after LI (p<0.05), with no other changes. In control and LI sessions, forearm vascular resistance increased at the end of 1h recovery period and in MI session, it decreased immediately after the intervention (p<0.05). Conclusions: A single aerobic exercise session in light or moderate intensities induces beneficial changes in ambulatory BP in resistant hypertension, with advantages in effect length for lighter intensities.

ABSTRACTObjective: to observe, through a literature review, the effects of counter-resistance exercise on hypotension post-exercise. Methods: this is a review study, based on national and international literature, that was considered the inclusion of articles in order to determine the cardiovascular responses in patients, with the use of resistance exercises, which used non-invasive methods of measurement of blood pressure. Studies that showed no recovery time after exercise as well as research involving other types of combined exercise except resistance exercise were excluded. Results: among the eleven studies involving hemodynamic responses and resistance exercise, four were evaluated considering the criteria for exclusion. Two studies showed a decrease in BP after a resistance exercise session for both systolic blood pressure and for diastolic blood pressure. One study that was found only for systolic blood pressure, and another just for the diastolic. Final comments: although it is not yet a consensus about the prescription of exercise for post-exercise hypotension, resistance exercise greater volume impacting more positively in blood pressure after activity, and this result may be more easily found through the systematic and continued practice of resistance exercise (physical training), and not simply an acute form. Descriptors: hypertension; post-exercise hypotension; resistance exercise.  RESUMOObjetivo: observar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, os efeitos do exercício contra-resistência, na hipotensão pós-exercício. Métodos: estudo de revisão, nacional e internacional, considerando-se a inclusão de artigos com o objetivo de verificar as respostas cardiovasculares em hipertensos, com o uso de exercícios resistidos, por meio de métodos não-invasivos de mensuração da tensão arterial. Foram excluídos aqueles que não apresentavam tempo de recuperação após o exercício e pesquisas envolvendo outro tipo de exercício combinado que não o resistido exclusivamente. Resultados: dos onze estudos envolvendo respostas hemodinâmicas e exercício contra-resistência, quatro foram avaliados. Dois mostraram diminuição da PA após uma sessão de exercício resistido, tanto para a pressão arterial sistólica como para a diastólica. Um estudo que encontrou hipotensão apenas para a sistólica, e o outro para a diastólica. Considerações finais: apesar de ainda não ser consenso a forma como deve ser conduzido a prescrição de exercícios contra-resistência para obter hipotensão pós-exercício, exercícios resistidos de maior volume possam repercutir de forma mais positiva na pressão arterial após atividade, e talvez esse resultado seja mais encontrado por meio da sistematização e continuidade da prática de exercícios resistidos (treinamento físico), e não simplesmente de forma aguda. Descritores: hipertensão; hipotensão pós-exercício; exercício resistido.  RESUMEN Objetivo: observar, a través de una revisión, los efectos del ejercicio de resistencia a la hipotensión pos-ejercicio. Métodos: este stúdio se basa en la literatura nacional e internacional, considerando la inclusión de los artículos a fin de determinar las respuestas cardiovasculares, con el uso de ejercicios de resistencia, que utiliza métodos no invasivos de la medición de la presión arterial. Se excluyeron de la evaluación, los estudios no han mostrado el tiempo de recuperación después del ejercicio y la investigación con otros tipos de ejercicios combinados que no se resistió. Resultados: de los once estudios con las respuestas hemodinámicas y el ejercicio de resistencia, cuatro fueron evaluadas teniendo en cuenta los criterios de exclusión. Dos estudios mostraron una reducción de la PA después de un período de ejercicio de resistencia, tanto para la presión arterial sistólica y diastólica. Un estudio encontró que la presión arterial sólo para la sistólica y la otra sólo para la presión. Consideraciones finales: a pesar de que no es un consenso sobre cómo debe llevarse a cabo el ejercicio de resistencia para a la hipotensión pos –ejercicio, ejercicio de fuerza mayor volumen que afectan de forma más positiva de la presión arterial después de la actividad, y este resultado puede ser más fácil de encontrar a través de la práctica sistemática y continua de los ejercicios de resistencia (entrenamiento físico), y no una forma aguda. Descriptores: hipertensión; hipotensión pos-ejercicio; ejercicio contra la resistencia.

AbstractWe investigated the acute effects of isometric biceps exercise on resting and ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive adults. A total of 12 medicated hypertensive adults (aged 47±7 years; body mass index 27.2±2.7 kg/m2; resting blood pressure 123±12/74±6 mmHg) performed an isometric biceps exercise session (bilateral biceps exercise; 4×1 min at 30% of 1-RM, 2 min recovery) and a control session (without exercise) in a randomized order separated by a 7 to 10-day period. Resting blood pressure, heart rate, and heart rate variability indexes (SDNN, RMSSD, LF, HF, and LF/HF) were measured pre- and up to 30 min post-sessions. Next, ambulatory blood pressure was monitored during 22-hour post-sessions (awake and asleep periods). No significant changes were observed for resting blood pressure, heart rate, or heart rate variability indexes up to 30 min post-sessions (p>0.05). Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in average ambulatory blood pressure values in 22-hour (126±11/71±6 mmHg vs. 126±15/71±9 mmHg), awake (127±10/74±6 mmHg vs. 130±14/75±10 mmHg), and asleep (123±15/68±6 mmHg vs. 120±17/66±9 mmHg) periods between the control and isometric sessions, respectively (p>0.05). In conclusion, an isometric biceps exercise session does not elicit an acute antihypertensive effect in adults with hypertension, which suggests that its prescription to improve the acute BP control is limited.

AIMSː To investigate the effects of resistance exercise and fish oil intake on muscle morphology in Wistar rats.  METHODSː Forty-eight animals that performed resistance exercise were initially divided into two groups. One group did not take fish oil and the other group took fish oil. The animals of the second group underwent training and took fish oil for eight weeks. At the end of the last resistance exercise session, the 48 rats were organized into six subgroups of eight each, according to the time gap (12, 24 or 48 hours) elapsed until the gastrocnemius muscle withdrawal procedure. At each established time after the last resistance exercise session, the gastrocnemius muscle was removed for morphological analysis.RESULTSː Skeletal muscle cells of the animals that did not receive fish oil presented higher scores of edema, especially those from the groups that had their muscles withdrawn at 24 and 48 hours of time gap. As for the group that took fish oil, we observed a smaller amount of inflammatory infiltrate and reduced areas of necrosis compared to animals that exercised without the use of fish oil, at all post-exercise time gaps. CONCLUSIONSː Fish oil intake attenuated morphological changes in muscle tissue after high-intensity exercises.
