“…In opposition to high-intensity RET, moderate habitual RET neither reduced central arterial compliance nor altered arterial stiffness. 25 Finally, the absence of PEH could make the design of RET programs easier, as only chronic adaptation and not temporal BP reduction would become the objective of these programs.…”

Post-exercise hypotension (PEH), the reduction of blood pressure (BP) after a single bout of exercise, is of great clinical relevance. As the magnitude of this phenomenon seems to be dependent on pre-exercise BP values and chronic exercise training in hypertensive individuals leads to BP reduction; PEH could be attenuated in this context. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether PEH remains constant after resistance exercise training. Fifteen hypertensive individuals (46±8 years; 88±16 kg; 30±6% body fat; 150± 13/93±5 mm Hg systolic/diastolic BP, SBP/DBP) were withdrawn from medication and performed 12 weeks of moderate-intensity resistance training. Parameters of cardiovascular function were evaluated before and after the training period. Before the training program, hypertensive volunteers showed significant PEH. After an acute moderate-intensity resistance exercise session with three sets of 12 repetitions (60% of one repetition maximum) and a total of seven exercises, BP was reduced post-exercise (45-60 min) by an average of aproximately À22 mm Hg for SBP, À8 mm Hg for DBP and À13 mm Hg for mean arterial pressure (Po0.05). However, this acute hypotensive effect did not occur after the 12 weeks of training (P40.05). In conclusion, our data demonstrate that PEH, following an acute exercise session, can indeed be attenuated after 12 weeks of training in hypertensive stage 1 patients not using antihypertensive medication.

“…However, although aerobic exercise effectively decreases arterial stiffness, it does not induce gains in strength and lean body mass, as well as increases in bone density compared with resistance training [4,41]. In contrast, resistance training increases [33][34][35] or does not alter [36][37][38] arterial stiffness compared with aerobic exercise. Therefore, prescribing aerobic and resistance training in combination is proposed as an efficacious strategy to improve cardiovascular as well as musculoskeletal functions in the elderly.…”

“…However, some studies suggest that high-intensity resistance training is associated with reduced major artery compliance and increased arterial stiffness [33][34][35]. On the other hand, current evidence suggests that low-to moderate-intensity resistance training does not effect on arterial stiffening [36][37][38]. Interestingly, resistance training results in decreased blood pressure as a training adaptation despite increases in blood pressure during exercise [39].…”

When combined aerobic and resistance training into the same session is performed, the exercise order may lead to different effects with respect to factors such as muscle strength, hormone responses, energy metabolism, and vascular function. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise order of combined aerobic and resistance training into the same session on body composition, muscle strength and arterial stiffness in the elderly. Thirty-one elderly subjects (70.5 ± 3.5 years) were randomly assigned to 3 groups; AR: aerobic before resistance training, RA: resistance before aerobic training and CON: no training. Subjects trained 2 times per week for 10 weeks. Resistance training consisted of 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions for 5 different exercises, 70%-80% of one repetition maximum (1RM). Aerobic exercise consisted of cycling at 60% of heart rate reserve (HRR). Significant interaction effects were observed in body fat percentage (P < 0.01) and 1RM (P < 0.01). However, no significant differences were observed between AR and RA. In contrast, pulse wave velocity (PWV) significantly reduced in the RA (8.8 ± 2.1 m/s to 7.6 ± 1.9 m/s, P < 0.05), while PWV increased in the AR (7.9 ± 2.8 m/s to 10.0 ± 2.6 m/s, P < 0.01), and there was significant difference between AR and RA (P < 0.05). In conclusion, no effects of the exercise order were observed in body composition and muscle strength. However, aerobic exercise after resistance training reduced arterial stiffness and difference of exercise order was observed.

“…[27][28][29][30][31][32]49 Aerobic exercise interventions were the most common, although circuit training and strengthening regimens were also investigated. 27,30,49 Exercise interventions focused primarily on obese and overweight subjects, [27][28][29][30][31][32]49 and FMD was the most widely measured noninvasive vascular health outcome.…”
