AbstractPrior research about the effects of the amount of exercised muscle mass upon cardiovascular responses (CVR) has neglected a potential bias related to total exercise and concentric/eccentric duration. Autonomic responses and perceived exertion (RPE) were compared in resistance exercises performed with larger and smaller muscle mass and matched for total exercise and concentric/eccentric duration. Twelve men performed 4 sets of 12 repetitions of unilateral (UNI) and bilateral (BIL) knee extensions at 70% of 12RM. Increases in CVR were always greater at the last set of BIL over UNI, as were SBP (35% vs. 23%), DBP (36% vs. 23%), HR (40% vs. 26%), RRP (90% vs 53%) and CO (55% vs 39%). No difference between protocols was found for autonomic modulation before and after exercise, but BIL induced significantly greater changes than UNI from baseline for R-R intervals (−13% vs. −7%), SDNN (−38% vs. −17%) and rMSSD (−41% vs. −21%). The rate of perceived exertion in the last set was higher in BIL than UNI (7.6±0.5 vs. 6.6±1.4 OMNI-RES; P<0.05) and did not correlate with any CVR. Thus, CVR were greater in resistance exercise performed with larger than smaller muscle mass. This information is relevant for patients with high cardiovascular risk.

Background. This study aimed to examine serotonin, dopamine and cardiovascular responses to aerobic and resistance exercise in men addicted to methamphetamine during rehabilitation. Methods. Subjects were 10 men addicted to methamphetamine with an average age of 31.2 ± 6.2 years old, height: 173 ± 5.6 cm, weight: 73.66 ± 12.5 kg. In the first session the subjects were acquainted with the environment. The variables measured at the second session were physical and physiological characteristics. In the third and fourth sessions, projects to ensure the effectiveness of the pilot were conducted. In the fifth and sixth sessions which were spaced 7 days apart, aerobic and resistance exercises were carried out. The variables which were measured before and after exercise programs included heart rate, blood pressure and circulatory levels of serotonin and dopamine. Results. The increase in blood serotonin and dopamine levels after both aerobic and resistance exercise were significant (p < .05), but neither of the two aerobic and resistance exercise were superior to each other. In addition, decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure and myocardial oxygen cost at some time intervals after these two exercises were significant ( p < .05), However, there were no significant changes in comparison of exercises (p > .05). Conclusions. Both of these exercises can be used as valuable support factors in treatment of addiction.

This study compared undifferentiated ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during short duration, very high intensity cycle exercise using high and low resistance. 30 recreationally trained males (24.2 ± 2.4 yr.) were memory-anchored to the Borg 15-category scale. The high and low resistance exercises were defined by 30-sec. maximum tests assigned in counterbalanced order, with resistances set before testing during an orientation session. High resistance was 10% of body mass. Low resistance resulted in the same total work as the high resistance over the 30-sec. sessions (± 5%) but increased pedal rate. RPE was taken at 8, 13, 18, 23, and 28 sec. during the high and the low resistance exercises. Measurements were compared using a 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance. RPE was significantly greater ( p = .005) for the high than the low resistance exercise at each interval. RPE increased when the subjects were required to pedal against a greater resistance and produce the highest forces. These RPE data are consistent with data from both aerobic cycle and resistance exercise. The data suggest that instantaneous force production, not summed work, is a primary determinant of RPE. All of these observations support Cafarelli's theoretical model of effort sense. In conclusion, as an individual generates more force during high resistance exercise than in light resistance exercise, a potential explanation of our results is that the increased motor outflow and corollary sensory signal lead to a greater sense of effort.

AbstractDifferences in blood flow patterns and energy cost between isometric and dynamic resistance exercise may result to variant cardiovascular, neural, and muscle metabolic responses. We aimed to compare the cardiovascular, baroreceptor sensitivity, and muscle oxygenation responses between workload-matched, large muscle-mass isometric and dynamic resistance exercises. Twenty-four young men performed an isometric and a dynamic double leg-press protocol (4 sets×2 min) with similar tension time index (workload). Beat-by-beat hemodynamics, baroreceptor sensitivity, muscle oxygenation, and blood lactate were assessed. The increase in blood pressure was greater (p<0.05) in the 1st set during dynamic than isometric exercise (by ~4.5 mmHg), not different in the 2nd and 3rd sets, and greater in the 4th set during isometric exercise (by ~5 mmHg). Dynamic resistance exercise evoked a greater increase in heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and contractility index (p<0.05), and a greater decline in peripheral resistance, baroreceptor sensitivity, and cardiac function indices than isometric exercise (p<0.05). Participants exhibited a greater reduction in muscle oxyhemoglobin and a greater increase in muscle deoxyhemoglobin in dynamic versus isometric exercise (p<0.001–0.05), with no differences in total hemoglobin and blood lactate. In conclusion, large muscle-mass, multiple-set isometric exercise elicits a relatively similar blood pressure but blunted cardiovascular and baroreceptor sensitivity responses compared to workload-matched dynamic resistance exercise. Differences in blood pressure responses between protocols appear small (~5 mmHg) and are affected by the number of sets. The muscle oxidative stimulus is greater during dynamic resistance exercise than workload-matched isometric exercise.

Escalas de percepção subjetiva de esforço têm sido usadas há bastante tempo para se referir à intensidade de esforço no exercício aeróbio. Somente há pouco tempo foi validada a escala de OMNI-RES para exercício resistido, de modo que sua aplicação em algumas populações ainda é escassa. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a efetividade da escala de OMNI-RES em mulheres idosas hipertensas. Vinte e uma voluntárias (60.2±3,8 anos, IMC de 28,7±1,2 Kg/m2), realizaram quatro sessões de exercício resistido randomicamente ordenadas. Duas das sessões eram para membros inferiores (MI), com intensidades de 60% e 80% de 15 RM, e as outras duas, para membros superiores (MS), com as mesmas intensidades. As sessões tiveram três séries de 15 repetições e intervalos de 90 segundos. Ao final de cada série, mediu-se a frequência cardíaca e a percepção subjetiva foi referida pelas mulheres. Para a análise estatística, foi utilizado o teste de ANOVA two-way. A frequência cardíaca se apresentou significativamente mais elevada nas sessões a 80% de 15RM em relação a 60% de 15RM em todas as séries, tanto de membros superiores quanto de membros inferiores. Nos protocolos para MI, as mulheres referiram pontuações na escala de OMNI-RES sempre significativamente maiores ao final das três séries, com intensidade de 80% em relação a 60% de 15 RM (6,1±0,1 versus 3,7±0,1; 6,1±0,1 versus 3,8±0,2 e 6,1±0,1 versus 3,9±0,2 para as 1ª, 2ª e 3ª séries a 80 e 60% respectivamente). Nos protocolos para MS a pontuação na escala de OMNI-RES foi igualmente maior para os exercícios a 80% de 1RM em todas as séries (6,1±0,1 versus 3,5±0,1; 6,1±0,1 versus 3,5±0,1 e 6,1±0,1 versus 3,6±0,1 para as 1ª, 2ª e 3ª séries a 80 e 60% respectiva  mente). Os valores de pontuação foram equivalentes à classificação de razoavelmente leve e compatível com treino de endurance muscular segundo a escala de OMNI-RES nos exercícios a 60% de 15 RM e razoavelmente pesado e compatível com treinamento de hipertrofia para a intensidade de 80% de 15RM. Concluiu-se que a escala de OMNI-RES representa adequadamente a intensidade adotada em exercícios resistidos com características de Resistência Muscular Localizada (RML) e hipertrofia em mulheres idosas hipertensas. THE USE OF THE OMNI-RES SCALE IN HYPERTENSIVE ELDERLY abstract Scales of perceived exertion have been used for some time to refer to the intensity of effort in an aerobic exercise. Only recently the OMNI-RES scale has been validated for resistance exercise, as a result of that its application in some populations is still scarce. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the OMNI-RES scale in elderly women with hypertension. Twenty one volunteers (60,2 ± 3,8 years, BMI 28,7 ± 1,2 Kg/m2), undertook four sessions of resistance exercise ordered randomly. Two of those sessions were for lower limbs at intensities of 60% and 80% of 15RM, and the other two were for upper limbs with the same intensity. The sessions had 3 sets of 15 repetitions and intervals of 90 seconds. At the end of each series it was measured the heart rate and the subjective perception was reported by the women. For statistical analysis, it was used the two-way ANOVA test. Heart rate was significantly higher in sessions at 80% with 15RM than at 60% with 15RM in all series, both upper limbs and lower limbs. In the protocols for lower limbs, the women always reported significantly higher scores on the OMNI-RES at the end of the three series with an intensity of 80% compared to 60% with 15 RM (6,1 ± 0,1  versus 3,7 ± 0,1; 6,1 ± 0,1 versus 3,8 ± 0,2 and 6,1 ± 0,1 versus 3,9 ± 0,2 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades 80 and 60% respectively). The values in scores were equivalent to the classification of fairly mild consistent with muscle endurance training according to the OMNI-RES scale on the exercises at 60% with 15 RM and fairly heavy and consistent with hypertrophy training at an intensity of 80% with 15RM. It was concluded that the OMNI-RES scale adequately represented the adopted intensity in resistance exercises with features of RML and hypertrophy in hypertensive elderly women.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of listening to music during warm-up and resistance exercise on physiological (heart rate and blood pressure) and psychophysical (rating of perceived exertion) responses in trained athletes. Twelve strength trained male participants performed warm-up and resistance exercise without music (WU+RE without M), warm-up and resistance exercise with music (WU+RE with M), WU with M and RE without M, and WU without M and RE with M, with 48 hours space between sessions. After completing each session, the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was measured. Also, heart rate (HR), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and rate pressure product (RPP) were assessed before, after, and 15, 30, 45, and 60 min after exercise. Results indicated that RPE was higher for WU+RE without M condition in comparison with other conditions. All conditions showed increases in cardiovascular variables after exercise. The responses of HR, SBP, and RPP were higher for WU+RE without M condition. Thus, using music during warm-up and resistance exercise is a legal method for decreasing RPE and cardiovascular responses due to resistance exercise.

Abstract Exercise order is an essential variable of resistance training (RT) programs which is usually related to repetition performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effect of different resistance exercise order on the number of repetitions performed to failure and related ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). Thirteen male adolescents (age: 14.46 ± 1.39 years, body height: 165.31 ± 12.75 cm, body mass: 58.73 ± 12.27 kg, estimated body fat: 21.32 ± 2.84%), without previous experience in RT, performed four resistance exercises: incline leg press (ILP), dumbbell lunge (DL), bench press (BP) and lying barbell triceps extension (TE) in two sequences - Sequence A (SEQA): ILP, DL, BP and TE; sequence B (SEQB): ILP, BP, DL and TE. The exercise sequences were performed in a randomized crossover design with a rest interval of 72h between sessions. Within-subjects analysis showed significant differences in the number of repetitions performed to failure in both sequences, but not in the RPE. Post-hoc tests revealed significant decrements in the number of repetitions from the first to the remaining exercises in both sequences. However, pairwise comparisons did not indicate significant differences between the same exercises performed in different sequences. In conclusion, the results of the current study in adolescents suggest that the main exercises should be performed at the beginning of the RT session.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the OMNI Resistance Exercise scale (OMNI-RES) for monitoring the intensity of different modes of resistance training in children who are overweight or obese. Sixty-one children (mean age = 9.7 ± 1.4 years) performed three resistance training sessions every week for 4 weeks. Each session consisted of three sets of 3–15 repetitions of eight different resistance exercises. OMNI-RES RPE measures (0–10) were obtained following each set and following the end of the exercise session. There was a significant difference between average RPE (1.68 ± 0.61) and Session RPE (3.10 ± 1.18) during the 4 weeks of training (p < .05). There was no significant change in session RPE over the 4 weeks of training. The correlation coefficient between average and session RPE values was significant (r = .88, p < .05). The findings of the current study indicate that the RPE values are higher when OMNI-RES measures are obtained following the whole training session than when obtained following every single set of exercise. This suggests that in children the session RPE provides different information to the average RPE across the entire session.

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.

Background: Physical activity (PA) has been associated with multiple health benefits. However, the global population does not meet the PA recommendations. Virtual reality exergaming (VR EXG) can become an option to increase PA because it is fun, relatively easy to access and affordable through popular commercial devices.Aim: To investigate the immediate cardiovascular responses(blood pressure, heart rate), quantification of PA intensity(percentage of maximum heart rate (%HRmax), Borg’s rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and the level of enjoyment using visual analog scale (VAS) while playing VR EXG.Material and Methods: Fifteen healthy men (aged 31.87±3.14 years old, body mass index 23.77±2.47 kg/m2) undergone three“Fitness Boxing” Nintendo Switch™ playing modes in the same order: (1) single player-normal tempo, (2) single player-fast tempo and (3) versus. During playing, participant’s HR was monitored using Polar H10 heart rate sensor. Blood pressure was measured before and after playing. Borg’s RPE and VAS were collected after playing.Results: Our results showed significant heart rate and systolic blood pressure increase (p = 0.001) in all three playing conditions, whereas diastolic blood pressure was relatively constant (p > 0.05). The Borg’s RPE were in 12-13 range (moderate) and %HRmax range between 72- 81% (vigorous). The enjoyment level was found greatest in versus mode compared to other playing modes.Conclusion: VR EXG Nintendo Switch™ “Fitness Boxing” can elicit immediate cardiovascular responses and provides an enjoyable moderate to vigorous PA intensity in healthy male adults, and can be used to meet the weekly PA recommendations.

Background and Study Aim: Sport exercises play a major role in many hormonal factors which related to happiness in human. Therefore, the short-term effects of three anaerobic, aerobic and resistance exercises on (BDNF) and hormones related to happiness such as serotonin and beta-endorphin has been studied in young men in this research. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two students (19 to 25 years old) who did not have regular physical activity were randomly divided into four groups, after the subjects were eaten the same breakfast, the blood of them were taken before and after the various short aerobic exercises (Exhaustive exercise with 70% of maximum heart rate) and anaerobic (Exhaustive exercise with maximum intensity) and exhaustive resistance exercise (with 8 stations). Control group did not practice any activity. Specific kits and ELISA method have been used to determine their values. Data were analyzed using ANOVAand ANCOVA method at a significant level of 5%. Results: Beta-endorphins showed a significant increase in resistance and aerobic training sessions compared to control group. However, serotonin and BDNF had a significant intra-group change in the aerobic group. Conclusion: It seems that aerobic exercises are the best practice for increasing some of the hormones associated with happiness.
