“…Scarcity data have suggested that men and women presented similar BP responses after a single bout of resistance training (Senitko et al, 2002;Queiroz et al, 2013). Controversially, a recent study assessing PEH after a traditional resistance exercise protocol in middle-aged men and women with normal BP found BP reduction in men but not in women (Mariano et al, 2019). In the present study, we specifically explore differences between older men and women using office and ambulatory BP data.…”

“…Based on this result and considering the potential biological differences between men and women that seems to impact BP responses (Maranon and Reckelhoff, 2013), we decided to run an exploratory analysis, assessing the office and ambulatory BP data separated by sex, and comparing possible differences between older men and women. Additionally, studies comparing acute BP between older men and women are absent, and important sex differences in hemodynamic responses after a single bout of resistance exercise were found in middle-aged adults with normal BP (Mariano et al, 2019). Accordingly, the aims of this secondary, exploratory analysis were to compare the effects of a single bout of PT on PEH, BP variability, and endothelial function between older men and women with hypertension.…”

Sex Differences in Post-exercise Hypotension, Ambulatory Blood Pressure Variability, and Endothelial Function After a Power Training Session in Older Adults

Background: The efficacy of power training (PT) to acutely reduce blood pressure (BP) in participants with hypertension is controversial, and no studies have assessed the influence of sex on post-exercise hypotension and its mechanisms in older adults.Purpose: The aims of this secondary, exploratory analysis were to compare the effects of a single bout of PT on post-exercise hypotension, BP variability, and endothelial function between older men and women with hypertension.Methods: Twenty-four participants with hypertension (12 men and 12 women aged to >60 years old) took part in this crossover study and randomly performed two experimental sessions: power exercise training (PT) and non-exercising control session (Con). The PT protocol was composed of 3 sets of 8–10 repetitions of five exercises performed in the following order: leg press, bench press, knee extension, upright row, and knee flexion, using an intensity corresponding to 50% of one repetition maximal test (1RM) and 2-min intervals between sets and exercises. The concentric phase of exercises during each repetition was performed “as fast as possible,” while the eccentric phase lasted 1 to 2 s. During Con, the participants remained at seated rest on the same exercise machines, but without any exercise. Each protocol lasted 40 min. Office BP, flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), 24-h ambulatory BP, and the average real variability (ARV) of systolic and diastolic BP were assessed before and after experimental sessions.Results: Comparing PT with Con, a reduced office BP after exercise was found in men (systolic BP—average post 1 h: −14 mmHg, p < 0.001; diastolic BP—average post 1 h: −8 mmHg, p < 0.001) and only a reduced systolic BP in women (average post 1 h: −7 mmHg, p = 0.04). Comparing men and women, a reduced systolic BP (post 60': −15 mmHg, p = 0.048; average post 1 h: −7 mmHg, p = 0.046) and diastolic BP (post 60': −9 mmHg, p = 0.049) after the first hour were found in men. In relation to 24-h ambulatory BP, ARV, and FMD, no statistically significant differences were found between men and women.Conclusion: In older adults with hypertension, the office BP response after the experimental sessions was different in men and women, showing that the PT protocol is more effective to acutely reduce BP in men. Additionally, the mechanisms behind this reduction remain unclear. This finding suggests that sex cannot be combined to analyze post-exercise hypotension.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier: NCT03615625.

“…Blood pressure analyzes after physical exercise have been studied in the last decades, and BP reductions after a single exercise session were observed in both high cardiometabolic risk [14] and healthy populations [4,15]. When comparing BP responses between different types of exercise, aerobic exercise seems to be more effective in promoting BP reductions, either in 24-hour, awake or sleep phases [10], but that are still little explored after Pilates performance.…”

Background: After menopause, women increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Physical exercise is one of the treatments for reducing the incidence of these diseases, and the Pilates method consists of a complete conditioning program. Aims: To verify the responses of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) and Blood Pressure Variability after a single session of Mat Pilates in non-obese post menopause women. Methods: This is a randomized crossover study with 15 normotensive postmenopausal women, who participated in a single Mat Pilates session and a control session. The Mat Pilates session lasted 50 minutes, with 5 minutes of warm-up. In each exercise, there was 1 set of 10 repetitions with 45 seconds of rest between sets. The control session should have the same duration, but the volunteers remained seated. ABPM was assessed for 24 hours after the intervention. Statistical analysis: Two-way ANOVA with Newman-Keuls post hoc was used to analyze ABPM variables and Student's t test for analysis of blood pressure variability. Results: There was no significant difference (p < 0.05) in systolic blood pressure nor diastolic blood pressure responses during 24h, awake and sleep phases and in its variability between Pilates and Control sessions. Conclusion: Acute Mat Pilates did not reduce ABPM or its variability in non-obese postmenopausal women.Keywords: menopause, arterial pressure, exercise therapy.

“…Similarly, exercise influences both sexes' blood pressure. However, studies have suggested that males tend to be more physically active and may even experience a more prolonged decreased-post-exercise-blood-pressure than women [26,27]. This may explain why our decision tree displays exercise as a significant determining factor in male blood pressure, but not in female blood pressure (Figure 1).…”

“…However, when they exercise more than 3 days per week and consume a higher amount of grains, they are predicted to have normal HDL-C. Additional studies have also found that exercise is extremely beneficial in raising HDL-C concentrations [55,56]. Dyslipidemia and low HDL-C levels can be improved by a variety of physical activities, depending on their duration, intensity, and type [27,55,56].…”

MyPlate is a guidance system for healthier eating choices. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the influence of MyPlate food group consumption and exercise on metabolic syndrome (MetS) parameters in college students. Participant (n = 462) blood was analyzed using Cholestech for triglycerides (TG), glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). In addition, weight, waist circumference (WC), and blood pressure (BP) were measured. Diet and Wellness Plus was used to compute participant diet records. Regression analysis and a recursive decision tree were made to predict MetS using RStudio (V.1.1.463). BP decision tree predicted high risk of elevated blood pressure with a recall rate of 93.7%. For males; exercise, empty calories, dairy, and protein were main predictors. For females, vegetable and empty calorie consumption were primary determinants. HDL-C decision tree had a recall rate of 91.8% and showed that the main low HDL-C risk determinants for males were; exercise and grain consumption. Conversely, for females; empty calories, grain, and vegetable consumption were the key factors determining low HDL-C risk. This study shows that MyPlate recommendations are valuable to achieve adequate HDL-C and blood pressure and provides insight into the importance of tailoring food intake guidance based on gender.
