Influence of Non-Periodized Resistance Training on Blood Pressure in Healthy Elderly Women. JEPonline 2016;19(3): 50-58. This study compared the chronic effects of moderate intensity resistance training on blood pressure in 13 healthy elderly women (Treatment Training Group, age: 65 ± 2 yrs) who trained 2 sessions·wk -1 for 12 wks to 13 elderly women who did not undergo resistance training (Control Group, age: 65 ± 4 yrs). The findings indicate that there were no statistically significant changes in blood pressure in both groups after 12 wks. Hence, it is clear that while the 12 wks of moderate intensity resistance exercise did not lower the resting blood pressure of healthy elderly women, it did not increase it either.
