“… 11 It seems that alternative mechanisms other than an NO increase would be necessary to induce a decrease in SBP following RT and HVRT in hypertensive elderly women. Other studies have failed to demonstrate significant acute alterations in HR, DBP, and RPP following moderate RT 29 , 30 in elderly normotensive and hypertensive women. The volume of the training sessions and number of exercises (10 in total) used in the present study might also have affected the cardiovascular responses, possibly inducing a metabolic stress that would require more time for postexercise recovery of the cardiovascular system.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to compare the acute effects of traditional resistance training (RT) versus high velocity RT (HVRT) on metabolic, cardiovascular, and psychophysiological responses in elderly hypertensive women.MethodsFifteen elderly women (mean age ± standard deviation, 67.1±6.9 years) classified as having hypertension stage 1 or 2 were randomly allocated to complete traditional RT or HVRT; 1 week later, subjects allocated to RT completed the HVRT session and vice-versa. Heart rate, blood pressure, affective response, perceived effort, and blood samples analyzing lactate, nitrate, nitrite, oxidative damage (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [TBARS]), and 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) collected before and after training sessions were assessed. Nutritional counseling was provided regarding nutrients that could affect cardiovascular and nitrate/nitrite analysis.ResultsSystolic blood pressure was not statistically different (p>0.05) between conditions at the beginning and during 30 minutes after sessions. Diastolic blood pressure, rate pressure product, and heart rate were not statistically different (p>0.05) between conditions at the beginning and during 45 minutes after sessions. Nitric oxide was significantly higher (p<0.0005) for HVRT compared to RT after 30 minutes of exercise. TBARS and TEAC were significantly higher (p<0.05) for HVRT compared with RT only immediately after exercise. There were no differences for psychophysiological variables between protocols.ConclusionThe acute cardiovascular and metabolic responses, including oxidative stress, are transient and within normal values. Taken together with the positive affective responses, both HVRT and RT with this intensity and volume seem to be safe for elderly hypertensive women under medication.

“…However, when volunteers were subjected to a higher intensity (70% of 1 RM) resistance exercise session, PEH was observed during the whole evaluation period after the end of the exercise session 13. Recently, Gerage et al12 evaluated the blood pressure levels after an acute session of sub-maximal resistance exercise in older women and found a moderate decrease (−5 mmHg) in SBP 1 hour after the end of the exercise. Furthermore, data in the literature have demonstrated decreased cardiac autonomic modulation after RT protocols, which inhibits the decrease in HR after exercise 10,14,36.…”

“…These findings suggest that the chronic effects of RT can be a result of a sum of the acute effects 9. However, the optimum protocol of RT able to elicit PEH is still unknown, and most studies have been indicating beneficial results from traditional moderate-intensity RT 10–12,14…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of resistance training (RT) and power training (PT) on the hemodynamic parameters and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability of older women.Materials and methodsA randomized experimental design was used in this study. Twenty-one older women (age: 67.1±4.6 years; body mass index: 28.03±4.9 kg/m2; systolic blood pressure: 135.1±21.1 mmHg) were recruited to participate in this study. Volunteers were randomly allocated into PT, RT, and control session (CS) groups. The PT and RT groups underwent a single session of physical exercise equalized by training volume, characterized by 3 sets of 8–10 repetitions in 8 different exercises. However, RT group performed exercise at a higher intensity (difficult) than PT (moderate) group. On the other hand, concentric contractions were faster in PT group than in RT group. Hemodynamic parameters and saliva samples (for NO quantification) were collected before and during an hour after exercise completion.ResultsResults demonstrated post-exercise hypotension during 35 minutes in the PT when compared to rest period (P=0.001). In turn, RT showed decreased heart rate and double product (P<0.001) during the whole evaluation period after exercise completion compared with the rest period. NO levels increased in the PT and RT during the whole evaluation period in relation to rest period. However, there were no differences between PT, RT, and CS regarding hemodynamic and NO evaluations.ConclusionData indicate that an acute session of power and resistance exercise can be effective to cause beneficial changes on hemodynamic parameters and NO levels in older women.

“…Moreover, the sample was composed of a mix of normotensive and hypertensive volunteers. It is well accepted that hypertensive subjects present higher decrease on blood pressure values than normotensive subjects ( Gerage et al, 2015 ; Moraes et al, 2012 ), thereby is possible that the results of the present study cannot be extrapolated to normotensive individuals. Lastly, the possible mechanisms responsible for blood pressure maintaining after exercise should be investigated in future studies.…”

Low blood pressure is sustained during subsequent activities of daily living performed after power training in older women

The present study aimed to examine the effects of a prior session of power training on blood pressure values during tasks that mimic the activities of daily living in hypertensive and normotensive older women. A randomized crossover experimental design was used for this study. Eleven older women (age, 66.1±1.2 years; body mass index, 26.7±4.8 kg/m2; systolic blood pressure, 133.9±23.4 mmHg) were recruited to participate. Volunteers were randomly underwent to a single session of physical exercise equalized by training volume, characterized by 3 sets of 8–10 repetitions in 8 different exercises. However, Power training session was performed at a higher intensity (moderate) than Sham session (rest/very, very easy ). Immediately after the end of the exercise session, subjects were assigned to perform five tasks that mimic the activities of daily living. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded before and immediately after the session of physical exercise, as well as in the end of each of the tasks. Results demonstrated significant elevations in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure values during the performance of the tasks after the Sham session. However, values were not altered in the power training session. Data of the present study indicate that an acute session of power training can maintain blood pressure values lower during the subsequent performance of tasks that mimic activities of daily living in older women.
