“…The significant reductions in resting SBP following the completion of all three training programmes (WHG, −10.1 mmHg; WLK, −4.6 mmHg; IHG, −4.9 mmHg) and the magnitude of the reduction in RMAP (Δ MAP; WHG, −5.8 mmHg; WLK, −2.7 mmHg; IHG, −3.3 mmHg) were comparable or higher than that seen in previous isometric-only studies or sequential combined training studies [14, 17–19, 25, 26]. The benefits of such reductions are evident in the current literature, which suggests that decreases in blood pressure of this magnitude would provide significant public health benefits [27].…”

“…In contrast, Sigal et al [18] identified small nonsignificant reductions in SBP and DBP in aerobic training and combined training groups. Calders et al [19] recently identified significant decreases in SBP and DBP in combined and aerobic training groups compared to a control group. Importantly, the reductions in blood pressure were significantly greater in the combined training group (SBP = 15 mmHg; DBP = 2 mmHg) compared to the aerobic training group (SBP = 11 mmHg; DBP = no change).…”

Aerobic and isometric training have been shown to reduce resting blood pressure, but simultaneous aerobic and isometric training have not been studied. The purpose of this study was to compare the changes in resting systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) after 6 weeks of either (i) simultaneous walking and isometric handgrip exercise (WHG), (ii) walking (WLK), (iii) isometric handgrip exercise (IHG), or control (CON). Forty-eight healthy sedentary participants (age 20.7 ± 1.7 yrs, mass 67.2 ± 10.2 kg, height 176.7 ± 1.2 cm, male n = 26, and female n = 22) were randomly allocated, to one of four groups (n = 12 in each). Training was performed 4 × week−1 and involved either treadmill walking for 30 minutes (WLK), handgrip exercise 3 × 10 s at 20% MVC (IHG), or both performed simultaneously (WHG). Resting SBP, DBP, and MAP were recorded at rest, before and after the 6-week study period. Reductions in resting blood pressure were significantly greater in the simultaneous walking and handgrip group than any other group. These results show that simultaneous walking and handgrip training may have summative effects on reductions in resting blood pressure.

“…It is possible that such an approach, one that utilizes a team of health care specialists and behavior management specialists focused on health promotion, can also increase frequency of exercise behavior. This is especially important given recent research showing positive therapeutic effects of exercise on cholesterol, blood pressure, and physical fitness measures (Calders et al, 2011).…”

“…Even though Nordstrøm et al [21] had objectively measured data on LTPA (accelerometry) and CRF (6MWD) in adults with DS, they did not examine the relationship between those variables. To date, most evidence for a relationship between PA and CRF in DS comes from intervention studies [27,28]. Despite these studies, observational investigations are needed to determine the association between free-living LTPA and CRF in individuals with DS.…”

BACKGROUND: Persons with Down syndrome (DS) typically possess low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), engage in low levels of physical activity (PA), and display elevated obesity levels, but the association between these variables is not clear in persons with DS. METHOD: We investigated the relationships among measures of CRF, PA, and body composition in 30 young adults with DS (age: 21.3 ± 5.5 years) using a cross-sectional study design. RESULTS: Male participants presented on average with a BMI of 32.9 ± 10.0 kg/m 2 , a percent body fat of 22.2 ± 13.0%, and a six-minute walk distance (6MWD) of 411.7 ± 66.3 m. Female participants presented on average with a BMI of 31.6 ± 13.5 kg/m 2 , a percent body fat of 26.7 ± 15.1%, and a six-minute walk distance (6MWD) of 360.4 ± 91.2 m. 6MWD shared a positive relationship with leisure time physical activity levels (r = 0.56, β = 1.488) and a negative relationship with body mass index (BMI; r = -0.49, β = -2.561). No relationship between body composition and PA was found. CONCLUSIONS: It seems that higher PA levels and lower BMI relate to better CRF in young adults with DS. Physical activity and body composition appear to be unrelated in persons with DS.
