Análise crônica de respostas fisiológicas da pressão arterial em praticantes mulheres hipertensas da aula de hidroginástica de um munícipio do interior de Goiás

Abstract

ABSTRACT Hypertension is a worldwide multifactorial clinical condition and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the effect of exercise performed in the aquatic environment on blood pressure of hypertensive women. Participated in this research 09 hypertensive women, without limitations to the effort and with medical release for the practice of physical exercise. The participants made body assessment before and after the 12 sessions of water aerobics, measured the blood pressure before and after the water aerobics class, the end the blood pressure was measured every 10 minutes within 30 minutes in triplicate. The results demonstrated that water aerobics causes post exercise hypotension. Both SBP and DBP decreased after training compared to resting, with a higher peak at 10 minutes immediately after aquatic training. SBP continued to decline in later periods. Thus, our results indicate that water aerobics can contribute to blood pressure control in hypertensive individuals.
