Zusammenfassung: | Aiming the prevention and treatment of hypertension, regular physical exercise has become important to reduce blood pressure. The present experiment compared the effect of interval step exercise with continuous walking exercise on cardiovascular parameters of post-menopausal hypertensive women. The volunteers were submitted to three experimental sessions: control (CO), interval exercise (IE) and continuous exercise (CE), in randomized order. The sessions lasted 120 min and during this period, resting blood pressure was evaluated after 10min of siting rest before exercise, and 30, 40 and 60min of siting rest position after exercise. Heart rate variability (HRV) were estimated at rest before exercise and 30min after exercise. Blood pressure reactivity (BPR) to the Stroop Color-Word test was measured at rest before exercise and 60min after exercise. Twelve women finished the study (59 ± 4 years and BMI of 29.78 ± 4.10 kg/m2). The One way ANOVA showed that systolic blood pressure (SBP) area under the curve over time were lower (p = 0.014) in both exercise sessions comparing with control session. The Generalized estimation equations (GEE) showed that SDNN and RMSSD indices of HRV decreases (p |
