Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Systemic arterial hypertension is a disease that mainly affects women. Objective: This study aimed to verify the hypotensive effect and blood pressure reactivity in women submitted to a concurrent cross exercise (CC) session. Methods: Fifteen volunteers (54±3) performed aerobic exercise alternated with a series of weights exercises, for the analysis of blood pressure variation (by the oscillometric method) and pressure reactivity (by the Cold pressure test) before and after exercise. Results: The results demonstrated the occurrence of post-exercise hypotension in the systolic phase in the comparison between CC and C post-exercise (−11.65 mmHg). CC led to attenuation of 7mmHg and 4mmHg for SBP and DBP, respectively, in the blood pressure reactivity after one session. Conclusion: It is concluded that concurrent cross exercise ensures hypotension and positive reactivity of systolic blood pressure. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies-Investigating the results of treatment.
Highlights
Systemic arterial hypertension is a disease that mainly affects women
It is characterized by permanent elevation of blood pressure (BP) that subjects the individual to risk of cardiovascular disease
Researchers have used an analysis of blood pressure reactivity (PR), which is the reactive response of blood pressure to physiological stress.[1]
Summary
Systemic arterial hypertension is a disease that mainly affects women. Objective: This study aimed to verify the hypotensive effect and blood pressure reactivity in women submitted to a concurrent cross exercise (CC) session. Conclusion: It is concluded that concurrent cross exercise ensures hypotension and positive reactivity of systolic blood pressure. Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a chronic disease that is caused by several factors, neurometabolic and hereditary.[1] It is characterized by permanent elevation of blood pressure (BP) that subjects the individual to risk of cardiovascular disease. Researchers have used an analysis of blood pressure reactivity (PR), which is the reactive response of blood pressure to physiological stress.[1] This variable is associated with an aortic pulse wave velocity, which is a surrogate measure of arterial stiffness and an acute predictor of cardiovascular disease risk.[5] One of the testicles used to assess a critical pressure. Cold Pressor Test (CPT).[6]
