Key result
Eight weeks of circuit resistance training reduced systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and triglycerides, while increasing nitric oxide levels compared to control.
Why the study?
Endothelial dysfunction in obese individuals initiates pre-hypertension, and together with lipid markers may lead to dangerous cardiovascular disease, but the effects of circuit resistance training in this population required investigation.
Does 8 weeks of circuit resistance training improve endothelial markers, blood pressure, and lipid profiles in pre-hypertensive obese women?
RCT (n=24)
Randomly assigned
No
Does 8 weeks of circuit resistance training improve endothelial markers, blood pressure, and lipid profiles in pre-hypertensive obese women?
Eight weeks of circuit resistance training can effectively reduce blood pressure and improve endothelial function (nitric oxide) and lipid profiles in pre-hypertensive obese women.

May support circuit resistance training for BP and lipid management in pre-hypertensive obese women; extends RCT evidence on endothelial benefits.

Moradian et al. (2022) conducted an RCT in Pre-hypertension and obesity (n=24). Circuit resistance training vs. No training (Control) was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (p=0.001). Eight weeks of circuit resistance training reduced systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and triglycerides, while increasing nitric oxide levels compared to control.
