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

Abstract: Abstract-The purposes of this study were to analyze and compare the effects of exercise performed in different intensities, above and below lactate threshold (LT) on post-exercise blood pressure (BP) and nitric oxide (NO) responses in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). For this, 11 T2D underwent the following sessions: 1) control session; 2) 20-min of moderate cycling (80% LT); and 3) 20-min of high intensity cycling (120%LT) on a cycle ergometer. Plasma NO and BP measurements were carried out at rest and… Show more

“…Such benefits in the cardiovascular system are not exclusively derived from chronic adaptations once significant decreases in blood pressure values are commonly observed after a single bout of physical exercise – a phenomenon called post-exercise hypotension (PEH) 814. These findings suggest that the chronic effects of RT can be a result of a sum of the acute effects 9.…”

“…Several mechanisms seem to be associated with PEH, such as a better functioning of the cardiac and peripheral autonomic control and an increased bioavailability of vasoactive substances 8,14,19. One of the most widely studied vasoactive substances is nitric oxide (NO).…”

“…Higher intensity exercise was associated with more: neuromuscular activity, muscle mass involved, and metabolic demand during and after exercise. [9]. These adaptations may be related to a larger activity of endocrine and metabolic systems, together with elevated cardiovascular and respiratory responses leading to EPOC [7,8].…”

“…With increasing exercise intensity, the body has a greater reliance on carbohydrate as a source of fuel, activating the catecholamine signaling pathway to increase hepatic glucose production and transient hyperglycemia that would last 1-2 hours post-exercise [9]. Therefore, performing maximum intensity exercise can promote risks inherent to the disease itself, which precludes applying this prescription to the referred population.…”
