About

The present study compared the acute effects of Sex and exercise mode on subsequent blood pressure (BP) and heart rate variability (HRV) responses during daily work in healthy adults. All subjects did 3 sessions: aerobic exercise on a treadmill, resistance exercise at the gym and a seated control session.

Full description

Resting blood pressure and heart rate variability are simple and non-invasive methods to evaluate cardiovascular risk after different exercise sessions. Thus, exercise can reduce these risk factors in the short and long term, but these responses can be different between sex in different exercise sessions.

Enrollment: 20 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 28 to 54 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
