Lack of Intensity Control during an Exercise Program Is Related to a Limited Effect on Variables Responsible for Blood Pressure Regulation in Hypertensive Older Adults by Roberta Fernanda da Silva, Thaís Amanda Reia, André Mourão Jacomini, Anderson Bernadino da Silva, Henrique dos Santos Disessa, Henrique Luiz Monteiro, Anderson Saranz Zago

“…To compare the effect of an intensity-controlled exercise program (ICEP) and a nonintensity-controlled exercise program (non-ICEP) on the variables responsible for blood pressure regulation in hypertensive older adults. 95 hypertensive older adults (65.40 ± 7.48 years/22 males and 73 females) performed hemodynamic, functional fitness, and biochemical evaluations before and after 12 weeks of the multicomponent exercises which included walking, muscle strength, hydrogymnastics, Pilates, dynamic balance, agility, flexibility, and others. A significant improvement was observed in general functional fitness index (GFFI: p≤0.000, d = 0.35), nitrite (NO2−: p≤0.000, d = 0.49), systolic blood pressure (SBP: p≤0.000, d = 0.65), diastolic blood pressure (DBP: p≤0.013, d = 0.40), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS: p≤0.007, d = 0.78), activity of the endothelial superoxide dismutase enzyme (ecSOD: p≤0.032, d = 0.41), double product (DP: p≤0.015, d = 0.43), and waist-hip ratio (WHR: p≤0.000, d = 0.44) for ICEP. …”
