About

This study evaluated the differences between normotensive and hypertensive menopausal women in ambulatory and blood pressure variability responses to combined aerobic and resistance exercise.

Full description

The differences in hypotensive and cardioprotective responses of exercise among menopausal hypertensive and normotensive women are still not very clear, mainly the responses of blood pressure variability. In this way, were evaluated 6 indices related to the variability of 24 hour ambulatory pressure measurements in these women before and after 12 weeks of combined exercise training.

Description:

Group of hypertensive and controlled women who practiced 10 weeks of training with Combined Exercise Training, non-obese, nonsmokers and with no characteristics that prevented them from performing the activities. In addition this group could not modify the dose or type of the medicine and should be using the same medicine and dose for at least 6 months

Treatment:

Other: Combined Exercise Training

Normotensive Women

Active Comparator group

Description:
