Objective
To analyze the post-effects of a single bout of resistance exercise on cardiovascular parameters in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Design
Randomized cross-over.
Methods
Seventeen PAD patients performed two experimental sessions: control (C) and resistance exercise (R). Both sessions were identical (8 exercises, 3 × 10 reps), except that R session was performed with intensity between 5–7 in the OMNI-RES scale and the C session was performed without any load. Systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic BP, heart rate (HR), and rate pressure product (RPP) were measured for one hour after the interventions in the laboratory, and during 24-hour using ambulatory BP monitoring.
Results
After the R session, systolic BP (greatest reduction: −6±2 mmHg, p<0.01) and RPP (greatest reduction: −888±286 mmHg*bpm; p<0.01) decreased until 50 minutes after exercise. From the second hour until 23-hour after exercise BP, HR and RPP product were similar (p>0.05) between R and C sessions. Blood pressure load, nocturnal blood pressure fall and morning surge were also similar between R and C sessions (p>0.05).
Conclusion
A single bout of resistance exercise decreased BP and cardiac work for one hour after exercise in clinical conditions, and did not modify ambulatory cardiovascular variables during 24-hours in patients with PAD.
