Behavior of the arterial pressure and of the cardiac frequency in a lesson using the Pilates method
Abstract
Practical of exercises resisted is being recommended as form to improve the health, being the accompaniment of the systolic and diastolic arterial pressure (SAP and DAP) and of the cardiac frequency (HR) important to if prescribing this type of exercise. The Pilates method considers physical conditioning for force profit, flexibility and corporal conscience. 12 females volunteers, normotensive, not smoking, sedentary and without health problems that intervened with the execution of the exercises, had participated of the study. All had carried through one hour of lesson of Pilates. The AP was surveyed through the auscultation method and the HR was measured through the cardio-tachometer. The data had been surveyed in the rest, during the lesson and 30 minutes after its ending. The systolic arterial pressure after presented rise during the lesson of up to 140 mmHg. the lesson, had varied behaviors. The DAP also presented varied values, having in some cases occurred rise for 90 mmHg. The HR did not exceed 95 bpm. During the exercises, the HR would not have to exceed 133 bpm (70% of the maxi HR) what, in fact, it occurred. The different answers of SAP can have explanation in the different positions of the volunteers during the circuit. The SAP, after 30 min of the ending of the lesson, presented values that they corroborate with the previous studies, where has controversies on the results. The behavior of the DAP can have explanation in the use of accessory musculature on the part of the volunteers. We conclude that the results show values of the normal standards inside, however, other studies must be carried through so that the results have trustworther character.
