Key result
Resistance exercise reduced blood pressure in men during daily work (SBP -1069±695 mmHg.540min) but was ineffective in women, while aerobic exercise produced moderate reductions in both sexes.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate how sex and exercise mode influence post-exercise blood pressure immediately after exercise and during daily work.
Does resistance or aerobic exercise reduce post-exercise blood pressure during a workday in healthy adults?

Does resistance or aerobic exercise reduce post-exercise blood pressure during a workday in healthy adults?
Resistance exercise effectively lowers ambulatory blood pressure during the workday in men but not women, highlighting sex-specific cardiovascular responses to different exercise modes.

May guide sex-specific exercise prescriptions for workday BP control; extends RCT data on mode-dependent post-exercise responses.
AIMS To assess the influences of sex and exercise mode on post-exercise Blood pressure (BP) immediately after exercise and during daily work. METHODS 20 healthy adults (9F/11M), randomly underwent three experimental sessions prior to their work routine: RE- Circuit resistance exercise at 40% of 1RM, AE- Aerobic exercise at 60-70% of heart rate (HR) reserve and CON- Control session. BP was assessed before and along the 1st hour of the post-intervention period (i.e. laboratory phase), and intermittently for 9h in the workplace. Results: RE promoted great BP reductions, but only in men, and this reduction persisted along the daily work (Men-RE: SBP= -1069±695 mmHg.540min; DBP= -612±325 mmHg.540min). On the other hand, AE produced slight DBP reduction in men during daily work (Men-AE: DBP= -241±730 mmHg.540min), and in women only in the laboratory phase (Women-AE: SBP= -108±65mmHg.60min). CONCLUSION Resistance exercise promotes a significant positive impact on BP in men but does not seem to be effective for women. On the other hand, AE produces moderate BP reductions in men and women.

Mariano et al. (2019) conducted an RCT in Healthy adults (n=20). Circuit resistance exercise and Aerobic exercise vs. Control session was evaluated on Post-exercise blood pressure immediately after exercise and during daily work. Resistance exercise reduced blood pressure in men during daily work (SBP -1069±695 mmHg.540min) but was ineffective in women, while aerobic exercise produced moderate reductions in both sexes.
