- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the order of execution of resistance training exercises (RT) on blood pressure (BP) in normotensive young students at rest. Method: 14 healthy men (mean age of 23.3 ± 1.4 years) who were familiar with resistance training participated in this study. The order of participation for the experimental conditions was randomized; the different conditions consisted in: (1) RT starting with large muscles groups and finishing with small ones (L-S), (2) RT starting with small muscles groups and ending with large ones (S-L) and (3) the control condition. RT routine consisted of eight exercises with intensity of 60% of one repetition maximum (RM). The participants performed 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise. Blood pressure measurements were taken before exercise, at the end of the year, and every 10 minutes after finishing the routine for 1 hour. Results: systolic BP reduction was found for 30 min both in L-S and S-L compared with the control group (p d» 0.001), although the magnitude of the decrease was higher after L-S (6-11 mmHg) compared with S-L (4-10 mmHg). For diastolic BP no significant interaction was found (p=0.39). Conclusion There exists a hypotensive effect after both routines; however, there was a greater decrease of systolic BP at the end of the routine with large muscle groups.
