Abstract

Introduction: The practice of physical exercises has been very indicated, both isolated as well as associated, to treat high blood pressure. Objective of this study was to verify the effect of intense aerobic exercise over blood pressure in hypertensive old age men and women. Material and Methods: Twenty hypertensive elderly people (between 60 and 80 years old) performed a walk during 30 minutes with intensity up to 75% of maximum heart rate. Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer at rest, during effort and on recovering, at every five minutes. Heart rate is then measured on the pulse at rest and during exercise. Results: An expressive reduction of the systolic blood pressure below basal values was observed after 10 minutes of the recovering period. Post-exercise hypotension persist for all the recovering period (30 minutes). Interesting, the subjects that presented the highest values of basal systolic blood pressure were the ones who showed higher hypotension during recovering. The diastolic arterial pressure showed a non-significant reduction along the recovering period. Conclusion: Acute exercise is capable to induce a hypotensive effect 30 minutes after the recovering in hypertensive elderly patients.
