Why the study?
How do circulatory responses (heart rate and blood pressure) compare between weight lifting, walking, and stair climbing in healthy older males?
How do circulatory responses (heart rate and blood pressure) compare between weight lifting, walking, and stair climbing in healthy older males?
Weight lifting with heavy submaximal loads in older males produces peak circulatory stress comparable to inclined walking, and stair climbing produces the highest peak systolic pressure and rate-pressure product.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May provoke high systolic pressures during stair climbing in older men; leaves open whether activity-specific monitoring should inform exercise prescriptions.
Benn et al. (1996) studied this question.
