Why the study?
Do different exercise modalities induce postexercise hypotension in pre- and postmenopausal women?
Do different exercise modalities induce postexercise hypotension in pre- and postmenopausal women?
Exercise induces postexercise hypotension in both pre- and postmenopausal women, but the most effective exercise modalities differ by menopausal status.
Supports tailoring exercise modality to menopausal status for postexercise hypotension; extends meta-analytic evidence on resistance, aerobic, and combined effects in women.
This meta-analysis has demonstrated that a single bout of exercise induces postexercise hypotension (PEH) in women and that the hormonal shift occurring with menopause does not influence the magnitude of PEH. However, we have shown with moderate evidence that the effectiveness of exercise modalities differs between pre- and postmenopausal women. Resistance and combined exercises are the best modalities to induce PEH in premenopausal women, whereas resistance and aerobic exercises are more effective in postmenopausal women.
