The effects of isometric and dynamic resistance exercise on post-exercise blood pressure

Le résumé fourni par la source

Arterial blood pressure may decrease below pre-exercise resting levels immediately after both aerobic and dynamic resistance exercise. This response is known as post-exercise hypotension (PEH). The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the blood pressure responses to isometric and dynamic handgrip exercise through two hours following exercise in pre-hypertensive subjects. The isometric protocol consisted of 3 sets of sustained isometric handgrip with the non-dominant arm for 3 minutes at 30% MVC. The dynamic resistance handgrip exercise protocol consisted of 3 sets of 45 rhythmic contractions at 60% MVC with the non-dominant arm for 3 minutes. Neither isometric nor dynamic handgrip exercise significantly lowered post-exercise systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure compared to the control condition.--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
