Abstract

Currently, women have acquired burdens that were previously intended only for men, acquiring typical male habits, a factor that caused this gender a predisposition to have a higher probability of developing arterial hypertension becoming the main cause of death in females. Another factor for the female predisposition to increase cardiovascular disease is the menopause which causes a decrease in the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone for a prolonged period. The main objective of this article is to prove that with the practice of aerobic physical activities it is more efficient to obtain a hypotensive effect for women with a positive diagnosis for hypertension. Using the methodology applied to the field research, tests were performed with a group of 12 women who were subdivided into two groups, for the performance of a resistance training and an aerobic training, which was obtained more satisfactory results in the aerobic training where it was observed pressure reduction of up to 11 mmHg for systolic pressure and 8 mmHg for diastolic pressure. However, it would be necessary to have a longer period to know the duration of this hypotensive effect caused by the exercise. The practice of physical exercises has an important role as a non-medicated element for the control of blood pressure.
