Blood pressure responses after resistance exercise session in women living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Abstract

The aim of this study was to verify blood pressure (BP) responses after a single resistance exercise session in women with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Twelve patients underwent a resisted exercise session. BP, heart rate, and rate pressure product were evaluated before and during 120 min after the session. Mean cardiovascular values before and after the session were similar (P>0.05). Analysis of the individual data revealed that for 120 min after exercise, 5 and 4 patients presented a reduction in systolic and diastolic BP of ≥4 mmHg, respectively. The clinical characteristics of the patients appear to influence BP responses after exercise. Individual data showed that some of the HIV+ women demonstrated a clinically significant decrease in BP. Although a single resistance exercise session does not decrease BP in women with HIV/AIDS, individual data present heterogeneity and individual characteristics seem to influence BP reduction after a single session of resistance exercises.

The Effects of Acute Aerobic Exercise on Blood Pressure, Arterial Function, and Heart Rate Variability in Men Living With HIV

“…Our data concur with a prior study (Domingues et al, 2018) that failed to identify PEH after resistance exercise in women living with HIV. In that study, five responders out of 12 patients (decreases in SBP > 4 mmHg) had lower CD4/CD8 ratio and used cART for shorter periods.…”

“…It is therefore feasible to suppose that blood pressure responses to acute exercise might be altered in those patients. We could find a single trial investigating this issue (Domingues et al, 2018), which failed to identify PEH after resistance exercise in women living with HIV. However, in what extent a single bout of aerobic exercise might induce blood pressure reduction among these patients is uncertain.…”

Efeitos do treinamento físico combinado periodizado e estatina em pessoas vivendo com HIV com dislipidemia: ensaio clínico randomizado, duplo-cego e placebo-controlado

“…SMART, 2013). Em PVHIV foi demonstrado que uma única sessão exercício físico bem como programas estruturados de TF ocasionam reduções da pressão arterial de repouso, o que torna o TF uma ferramenta não farmacológica útil para controle dos níveis pressóricos e dos efeitos colaterais vinculados à doençaZANETTI et al, 2017;DOMINGUES et al, 2018).Encontramos variação singificativamente superior nos valores de GJ no grupo EST em relação ao grupo PL. Apesar de algumas inconsistências, estudos anteriores demonstraram o efeito diabetogênico da estatina e, especula-se que, o principal mecanismo está relacionado à atenuação da atividade do transportador de glicose(BANACH et al, 2013).…”
