| Summary: | The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effects of blood pressure induced by moderate intensity aerobic exercise in young adults. Thirty-one individuals (18 women and 13 men) were submitted an anthropometric evaluation and a 40-min running protocol between 60% and 70% of the reserve heart rate. Hemodynamic measurements, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were carried out before and after the running protocol through Student's t-test for the dependent variables. All tests assumed α = 0.05. Significant differences were recorded between SBP before (127.1 ± 11.5 mmHg) and after (119.9 ± 10.2 mmHg) the running protocol. The results showed a decrease in systolic blood pressure, which resulted in a mean difference of -7.2 ± 6.2 mmHg, demonstrating a significant difference (p = 0.00001). However, in the DBP before (73.6 ± 8.6 mmHg) and after (72.5 ± 7.8 mmHg) no showing a significant difference (p = 0.36) as an acute effect on the decrease the running protocol. In conclusion, that moderate intensity and long duration running exercise can be aided in the non-pharmacological treatment of arterial hypertension and as an improvement in cardiovascular health. |
