Acute resistance exercise is more effective than aerobic exercise for 24h blood pressure control in type 2 diabetics

Cycling above rather than below lactate threshold is more effective for nitric oxide release and post-exercise blood pressure reduction in individuals with type-2 diabetes

“…The lactate threshold (LT) has been applied on aerobic evaluation and exercise prescription for individuals with T2D (Sales et al, 2012;Morais et al, 2011;Motta et al, 2010), once exercise below LT is considered a safe intensity associated to a low metabolic and cardiovascular stress Simões, Moreira, Moffatt, & Campbell, 2010). On the other hand, the benefits of exercise may be dependent of which intensity it is performed (Bahr & Sejersted, 1991).…”

“…Some studies revealed that a single exercise session can promote a significant BP decrease over minutes or hours after exercise, when compared to pre-exercise values (Sales et al, 2012;Morais et al, 2011;Motta et al, 2010;Simões, Moreira, Moffatt, & Campbell, 2010). This phenomenon is known as post-exercise hypotension (PEH) and has been suggested to be dependent of NO release, which is a powerful vasodilator (Asano et al, 2012;Santana et al, 2011;Patil, DiCarlo, & Collins, 1993).…”

Exercise and Diabetes-Related Cardiovascular Disease: Systematic Review of Published Evidence from Observational Studies and Clinical Trials

“…In this study, aerobic exercise reduced arterial stiffness (radial by 21 %, femoral by 14 %), whereas arterial stiffness increased slightly, although not significantly, with anaerobic exercise. By contrast, Morais et al [20] reported that in 10 individuals with type 2 diabetes, anaerobic exercise had a greater beneficial effect on 24 hr post-exercise blood pressure than aerobic exercise. Tudor-Locke et al [38] conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate a 16 week walking based intervention in people with type 2 diabetes.…”

“…The sample size of observational studies ranged from an investigation of 33 patients with type 2 diabetes in whom aerobic capacity was assessed [18] through to a metaanalysis of more than 1 million persons in which the risks of type 2 diabetes and CVD were assessed in relation to time spent watching television [19•]. As discussed further below, published intervention studies included as few as 10 participants (patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent an aerobic and resistance exercise training program and in whom change in metabolic and cardiovascular traits was assessed) [20], through to a randomized controlled trial (Action for Health in Diabetes-Look AHEAD) of more than 5000 participants with pre-existing type 2 diabetes who received either an intensive lifestyle modification or standard of care control intervention for the prevention of cardiovascular outcomes [ (eg, blood pressure, waist circumference, total cholesterol, and HDL-C) were inversely related. Green et al [25] conducted a small cross-sectional study in 3 patient groups:(i) patients with type 2 diabetes, peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication (n=12), (ii) lean nondiabetics with, peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication (n=12), and (iii) overweight or obese nondiabetic patients, with peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication (n=7), to examine exercise tolerance in peripheral arterial disease.…”

“…In 2011, the treatment of systemic hypertension alone, cost the Institute of Health in Brazil over US$ 20 million 2 . ere are many contributory factors to the development of hypertension, such as smoking, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, however, these appear to be modi able behaviors for treatment of this disease [3][4][5] . Epidemiological and clinical studies have highlighted the bene ts of physical exercise (PE) for cardiovascular health [6][7][8][9] .…”
