Different Cardiovascular Responses to a Resistance Training Session in Hypertensive Women Receiving Propanolol Compared with Normotensive Controls

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare the responses of blood pressure, heart rate, and rate-pressure product of hypertensive women using beta-blockers with healthy controls during resistance exercise (by the end of the concentric phase of the contractions) and in the postexercise period (5 and 30 minutes after). Ten untrained normotensive women (N) and 10 mildly hypertensive females receiving 40 mg/day of propanolol (H) were selected. Three sets of 10 repetitions at 80% of 10 repetitions maximum with 30 s rest interval were performed on the leg press exercise. The H group exhibited lower systolic blood pressure after the second set compared with N. Heart rate and rate-pressure product were lower in H in all analyzed periods compared with N. Propanolol attenuates the cardiovascular response to a leg press resistance exercise in mildly hypertensive women.

Influence of antihypertensive pharmacological treatment on the acute cardiovascular responses to the resistance exercise in hypertensive middle-aged women

“…Using the auscultatory method to measure cardiovascular responses to RE, Miguel et al 21 compared normotensive and hypertensive women under the use of β-blocker performing a protocol with three sets of 10 repetitions at 80% of 10RM in the 45° leg press, with 30 s rest interval between sets. They showed no significant difference between groups for DBP, but SBP, HR, and DP were lower during RE in hypertensive patients, likely due to β-blocker medication.…”

Impact of creatine supplementation in combination with resistance training on lean mass in the elderly

“…28 10 RM tests were selected to avoid excessive cardiovascular stress. 29 The tests were conducted for the bench press and leg press exercises. Prior to the 10 RM test, two light warm-up sets of exercises comprised 15 repetitions so that the participants could get used to the technical movements of the exercises.…”

Influencia del volumen y la carga total del entrenamiento contra resistencia sobre la presión arterial post ejercicio: una investigación meta analítica

“…Entre las recomendaciones realizadas, se encuentra la ejecución de ejercicio (16)(17)(18)22), ya que se ha demostrado un efecto hipotensor, es decir, una disminución de la presión arterial (PA) (6,11,12,(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34) que puede mantenerse por minutos u horas después de finalizada la sesión, en comparación con los valores obtenidos antes de la misma (2,5,26,28,31,32,(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) o con los valores reportados un día control en el que no se realiza ejercicio (37).…”
