Processo de envelhecimento e efeito hipotensivo agudo promovido pelo treinamento resistido em idosos

Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the pressoric values before and after intervention by resisted training. Methods: The sample was composed by 28 elderlies, distributed in two groups: G1 was constituted by female individuals with ages ranging from (63,92 ± 2,36). The G2 was consisted by male individuals with ages ranging from (64,80 ± 2,62). The volunteers were submitted to resisted training using the alternate method of segment. The systolic and the diastolic blood pressures were checked at the end of the sessions, at 20, 40 and 60 minutes after the training, during the recovering of the individual. Conclusion: the results obtained in the present study demonstrate that there was a reduction in the systolic and diastolic blood pressures, after a session of resisted training in non-trained elderlies, provoking the hypotensive effect.
