Portuguese to English: COMPARISON BETWEEN THE EFFECT OF AN ACUTE RESISTANCE EXERCISE SESSION WITH INTENSE AND LIGHT LOAD CIRCUIT METHOD ON BLOOD PRESSURE General field: Science
Source text - Portuguese Resumo
Introdução: A literatura relata que após uma sessão de exercícios resistidos pode-se observar um efeito hipotensor, o que poderia contribuir para o tratamento da hipertensão arterial. Contudo, ainda controvérsias quanto ao tipo, intensidade e duração do exercício para atingir este objetivo de forma segura. Objetivo: Comparar o comportamento da pressão arterial após 60 minutos de recuperação de uma sessão de exercício resistido no método circuito com 40% e 80% de 1RM. Metodologia: Foram avaliados 12 homens normotensos: 24,9±2,43 anos, massa corporal 71,68± 5,18 kg, estatura 173±4 cm, IMC de 23,83±1,60 kg/m2 e % gordura de 16,84±2,99. As sessões experimentais foram em dias alternados: determinação da carga máxima (1-RM) em seis exercícios (cadeira extensora, supino reto na máquina, leg press, puxada na máquina, cadeira flexora e remada máquina); em ordem randomizada para as sessões experimentais: 3 circuitos de 8 repetições de exercício resistido a 80% 1-RM, 3 circuitos de 16 repetições de exercício resistido a 40% 1-RM e uma sessão controle (CONT) sem exercício. As variáveis mensuradas no repouso e após as sessões experimentais, até 60 minutos da recuperação, foram a pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e diastólica (PAD). Foi utilizada estatística descritiva (média e desvio padrão). ANOVA two-way para medidas repetidas foi aplicada para comparação dos resultados obtidos intra e entre sessões experimentais com Post-hoc de Tukey (p < 0,05). Foi empregado o Software Statistic for Windows 6.0. Resultados: Não foi verificado aumento significativo da PAS e PAD após as sessões de exercício, bem como não foi observado efeito hipotensor durante o período de recuperação. No entanto, foi observada redução significativa da PAD aos 30 min, quando comparado com o valor de final do exercício. Conclusão: Conclui-se que não houve diferença significativa na pressão arterial entre as sessões de exercício resistido nas cargas de 40 e 80% de 1-RM, bem como não foi observado efeito hipotensor.
Introduction: The literature reports that after a resistance exercise session a hypotensive effect can be observed, which could contribute to the treatment of hypertension. However, there is still controversy about the type, intensity and duration of exercise to achieve this goal safely. Objective: This study aims at comparing the behavior of blood pressure after 60 minutes of recovery from a resistance exercise session in the circuit method with 40% and 80% of 1RM. Methods: The participants were 12 normotensive men aged 24,9 ± 2,43; body mass 71,68 ± 5,18kg; height 173 ± 0,16 in; IMC 23,83 ± 1,60 kg/m2 and % fat of 16,84±2,99. The volunteers attended the laboratory for four trial sessions of weight training on alternated days: 1 – maximum load (1-RM) in six exercises (leg extension, bench press machine, leg curl and rowing machine), 2, 3 and 4 – in random order for the experimental sessions: 3 circuit of 8 repetitions of resistance exercise at 80% 1-RM session, 3 circuit of 16 repetitions of resistance exercise at 40% 1-RM session and a control (CONT) without performing the exercise. The variables measured at rest and after the experimental sessions, within 60 minutes of recovery were systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with mean and standard deviation. Two-way ANOVA for repeated measures was applied for comparison of results within and between experimental sessions with Post-hoc de Tukey test (p < 0,05). The software Statistics for Windows 6.0 was employed. Resuslts: There was no increase in SBP and DBP in volunteers evaluated after the exercise sessions, as well as hypotensive effect was not observed during the recovery period. However, there was significant reduction in DBP at 30 min compared with the value at the end of the exercise. Conclusion: It is concluded that there was no significant difference in blood pressure between sessions of resistance exercise in loads of 40 and 80% of 1-RM, as well as no hypotensive effect was observed.
