Efeito hipotensivo em idosos hipertensos submetidos a uma sessão de exercício resistido

Abstract

The process of aging is caused by several factors, many unavoidable, because they involve biological, physiological and morphological, that the passing of the years are maximized. However, can have the effects minimized with a healthy lifestyle. Among these factors, the more that is damaging the individual and the emergence of non-communicable chronic diseases and hypertension which is the increase in blood pressure is a factor that worries, because it is known as a silent evil that affects millions of people. Various means are used for its control, one of the methods used and the practice of resistance exercise, which can cause a hypotensive effect acute and the medium and long term can become chronic, i.e. a way not medication is safe to combat hypertension and its consequences. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in blood pressure values of the individual after a session of resistance training in hypertensive individuals. The work was carried out with elderly hypertensive patients through the application of exercises in bodybuilding, referred to as resistance training exercises. The results proved that there were no hemodynamic changes in individuals, with change in blood pressure values during the pre and post exercise, followed by 60 more minutes of recovery, where the hypotensive peak occurred at around 50 minutes of rest. We can conclude that even a single session of resistive exercise brings acute effects beneficial in this variable. However, further studies to evaluate the chronic effect are necessary in order to contribute to the academic and scientific community.
