May support 43% 1RM resistance exercise for acute BP reduction; hypothesis-generating for intensity thresholds in T2DM.
Does higher intensity resistance exercise reduce postexercise blood pressure more than lower intensity exercise in type-2 diabetic and nondiabetic individuals?
Higher intensity resistance exercise (43% 1RM) is more effective than lower intensity (23% 1RM) at promoting postexercise hypotension in both type-2 diabetic and nondiabetic middle-aged individuals.
