Why the study?
Does low-intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction elicit similar haemodynamic responses with lower perceived exertion and blood lactate compared to traditional high-intensity resistance exercise in hypertensive older women?

May offer tolerable low-load option for hypertensive older women; leaves open long-term CV safety and adaptations.
Does low-intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction elicit similar haemodynamic responses with lower perceived exertion and blood lactate compared to traditional high-intensity resistance exercise in hypertensive older women?
Low-intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction provides a similar acute haemodynamic stimulus as high-intensity resistance exercise in hypertensive older women, but with less perceived exertion and metabolic stress.
