Acute effects of lower and upper body-resistance training on arterial stiffness, peripheral, and central blood pressure in young normotensive women
Purpose The aim of the study was to investigate the acute effects of an upper body-resistance training (UBR) and lower body-resistance training (LBR) on arterial stiffness (AS) and peripheral and central blood pressure (BP) of young recreationally active and normotensive women.

Zusammenfassung: | Purpose The aim of the study was to investigate the acute effects of an upper body-resistance training (UBR) and lower body-resistance training (LBR) on arterial stiffness (AS) and peripheral and central blood pressure (BP) of young recreationally active and normotensive women.
Methods
20 young women were separated into an UBR group (
n
= 10) and an LBR group (
n
= 10) performing four exercises of three sets and 12 repetitions with 70% of the One-repetition maximum. At rest (pre), as well as 1 (post1′), 10 (post10′), and 60 (post60′) min after the respective training, heart rate (HR), peripheral (pSysBP; pDiaBP), central blood pressure (cSysBP; cDiaBP), and aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured.
Results
Resting values revealed no differences between the groups in any parameter. After the exercise HR increased in both groups, pSysBP increased after LBR and cSysBP increased after UBR at timepoint post1′. PWV did not show any significant differences between the groups and between any timepoints. pDiaBP and cDiaBP values were higher in the LBR group compared to the UBR group at post1′. All values reached pre values at post60′ in both groups.
Conclusions
The adaptation pattern of the measured PWV as a measure of AS and BP parameters in UBR compared to LBR is similar, and all parameters regulate to their baseline values within 1 h. Therefore, no unfavorable acute effects of UBR or LBR are observed and, hence, can be recommended for this study population. |
