“…In the normotensive group, regardless of the exercise condition and the time of evaluation, it was not possible to observe significant changes in the reflection markers or central pressure. These results seem to agree with other studies that also did not observe acute benefits of aerobic exercise in the reflection markers when performed with healthy individuals [26][27][28], although other studies have observed a reduction, especially for AIx, after aerobic exercise [29,30].…”

Objective: This study investigated pulse wave analysis in normotensive and hypertensive men after cycling bouts with different intensities and amounts of energy expended. Methods: Twenty-four men were assigned into normotensive [n=14; age:40.7±2.8yr; 24-h ambulatory systolic/diastolic BP (SBP/DBP):121±2/74±1mmHg] and hypertensive [n=10; age:39.2±2.3yr; 24-h ambulatory SBP/DBP:139±3/86±2mmHg] groups. Participants undertook a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test, a non-exercise control session (CTL), and three cycling bouts [two prolonged bouts expending 300 kcal at 50% (i.e. P-MOD) and 70% (i.e. P-VIG) oxygen uptake reserve (VO2R) and one short bout expending 150 kcal at 50% VO2R (i.e. S-MOD)] performed in a randomized order. Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), pulse pressure (cPP), augmentation pressure (AP), augmentation index (AIx), heart rate (HR), and AIx adjusted for HR (AIx@75) were determined 10 min before, and 30-and 70-min post-intervention. Results: Compared to CTL, only the P-VIG changed the cSBP [70-min (∆ -11.7mmHg)], cPP [70-min (∆:-7.4mmHg)], AP [30-min (∆:-5.7mmHg); 70-min (∆:-7.3mmHg)], AIx [30-min (∆:-15.3 %); 70-min (∆:-16.4 %)], AIx@75 [30-min (∆:-12.8 %); 70-min (∆:-13.9 %)], and HR [70-min (∆:9.9bpm)] in hypertensive group. However, all exercise bouts mitigated the increased cSBP responses post-CTL in the hypertensive group. Conclusion: The present study provides evidence that vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise reduces acute central pressure and pulse wave reflection in hypertensive men.
