BACKGROUND: Active and passive interval during resistance exercises can cause different hemodynamic responses.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of passive and active intervals between sets of high-intensity resistance exercise on postexercise hypotension in hypertensive women.
METHODS: Fifteen sedentary women who have hypertension controlled by medication [64.1 +/- 7.9 years, systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) < 90 mmHg] performed one control session without exercise and two resistance exercises sessions with passive and active intervals between sets, in a randomized order. All hypertensive women participated in a supervised resistance training session. SBP and DBP were measured in six different times for all sessions. The first two measures were at rest (10 and 15 minutes) followed by 15-minute intervals after the end of control/exercise sessions up to one hour.
RESULTS: Post-exercise hypotension (p < 0.05) was observed in SBP after active intervals session compared with passive interval session, at 30 and 45 minutes. The area under the delta curve of SBP in the active protocol was similar to 21 mmHg of hypotension during 60 minutes, 10 mmHg in passive protocol and 5 mmHg in the control session.
CONCLUSIONS: Active intervals during high-intensity resistance exercises promote higher post-exercise hypotension compared with passive intervals.
