Abstract

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of a 6-month multicomponent exercise program on blood pressure, heart rate, and double product of uncontrolled and controlled normotensive and hypertensive older patients. Methods: The study included 183 subjects, 97 normotensives, of which 53 were controlled normotensives (CNS), and 44 uncontrolled normotensives (UNS), as well as 86 hypertensives, of which 43 were controlled hypertensives (CHS), and 43 uncontrolled hypertensives (UHS). Volunteers were recruited and blood pressure and heart rate measurements were made before and after a 6-month multicomponent exercise program. The program of physical exercise was performed twice a week for 26 weeks. The physical exercises program was based on functional and walking exercises. Exercise sessions were performed at moderate intensity. Results: The results indicated that UHS showed a marked decrease in systolic (-8.0 mmHg), diastolic (-11.1 mmHg), mean (-10.1 mmHg), and pulse pressures, heart rate (-6.8 bpm), and double product (-1640 bpm mmHg), when compared to baseline. Similarly, diastolic (-5.5 mmHg) and mean arterial (-4.8 mmHg) pressures were significantly decreased in UNS. Concomitantly, significant changes could be observed in the body mass index (-0.9 kg/m(2); -1.5 kg/m(2)) and waist circumference (-3.3 cm; only UHS) of UNS and UHS, which may be associated with the changes observed in blood pressure. Conclusions: In conclusion, the data of the present study indicate that a 6-month multicomponent exercise program may lead to significant reductions in blood pressure, heart rate, and double product of normotensive and hypertensive patients with high blood pressure values.
