Research Abstract |
The main purpose of this study was to clarify the interrelationships between acute and chronic mechanisms that have been linked to the anti-hypertensive benefits of exercise. Post-exercise hypotension(PEH) was observed through 6-week aerobic-endurance training program(60-min cycling, three times a week). Compared to pre-training nocturnal measurements, mean blood pressure was lower during weeks 1, 5, and 6 of the training period and during one week post training. The lower nocturnal BP was associated with both lower sympathetic and higher parasympathetic estimated activities.
