摘要：The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of lower body resistance exercise (LBRE) and upper body resistance exercise (UBRE) on post-exercise hypotension (PEH) between normotensive (NT) men and prehypertensive (PHT) men. Twenty-four recreationally trained men performed UBRE and LBRE on 2 separate days followed by 60 min of quiet seated rest. Blood pressure was measured immediately post-exercise and every 10 min for 60 min thereafter. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) results demonstrated a group x time interaction where NT immediately post was higher than all other time points. For PHT, immediately post was higher than all other time points, and 50 and 60 min post were lower than rest. Diastolic blood pressure demonstrated a condition x time interaction where lower body immediately post was higher than all other time points, 30 min post was lower than 20 min post, and 50 min post was lower than 60 min post. For upper body, 10 min post was lower than rest, immediately post, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min post. Also, 20 min post was lower than rest, immediately post, 50, and 60 min. Post-exercise hypotension occurred for SBP in PHT men but not in NT men.
