Hypertension is highly prevalent in elderly individuals. The blood pressure (BP) increase observed with aging is attributed to many physiological alterations. Among them, the vascular changes, expressed by the increase in arterial wall thickness and stiffness in combination with the decrease in vascular conductance and endothelial function are highlighted for this study. These changes may…
Dynamic and handgrip isometric resistance training have been shown to decrease blood pressure (BP) by different mechanisms, suggesting that their combination may produce a greater hypotensive effect in hypertensives (HT). Additionally, each resistance exercise session may produce post-exercise hypotension (PEH), which has clinical relevance when presents significant magnitude and persists…

Dynamic and handgrip isometric resistance training have been shown to decrease blood pressure (BP) by different mechanisms, suggesting that their combination may produce a greater hypotensive effect in hypertensives (HT). Additionally, each resistance exercise session may produce post-exercise hypotension (PEH - i.e. a decrease in BP during recovery), which has clinical relevance when pre…
Resistance Training (RT) is recommended for hypertensive subjects. Dynamic Resistance Training (DRT) is accepted as complementary to aerobic exercise due their musculoskeletal benefits and Isometric Resistance Training (IRT) with handgrip (IRT_h) has been shown effective to reduce Blood Pressure (BP) in hypertensive subjects. Thus, the combination of DRT and IRT_h could bring complementar…
The effect of Dynamic Resistance Training (DRT) on Blood Pressure (BP) is controversial, with some studies suggesting a significant reduction. Meanwhile, other studies indicate an important hypotensive effect of Isometric Resistance Training (IRT), but these findings in hypertensive individuals are restricted to IRT with handgrip (IRT_h), which has limited musculoskeletal benefits. Thus, …

The candidate for this BEPE is developing in Brazil a PhD thesis that aims to evaluate the possible favorable effects of dynamic resistance training on cardiovascular function, decreasing blood pressure (BP) and improving endothelial function. However, during the execution of a dynamic resistance exercise (DRE) session, a large and abrupt increase in BP occurs while a huge decrease is obs…
Aerobic exercise training is recommended for reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A single session of aerobic exercise decreases blood pressure during the recovery period, this phenomenon is called post-exercise hypotension. This response has been attributed to a decrease of systemic vascular resistance due to a sustained post-exercise vasodilation. Many factors may affect post…
Post-exercise heart rate recovery (HRR) is a practical tool for the assessment of cardiac autonomic recovery after exercise. Accordingly, HRR in the first minute after exercise is mainly determined by parasympathetic reactivation, while HRR after this period is determined by a sum of parasympathetic reactivation and sympathetic withdrawal. In addition of being an index of autonomic functi…
