Key result
A combined exercise session performed in the morning significantly reduced total 24-hour systolic blood pressure compared to a control session in male Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes.
Why the study?
Does the time of day of a combined exercise session affect the 24-hour blood pressure response in Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes?

Absolute Event Rate: 2695.8% vs 2784.1%
p-value: p=<0.05
The time of day when combined exercise is performed distinctly affects 24-hour blood pressure reductions, with morning exercise lowering total 24-hour BP and afternoon exercise lowering sleeping BP.
May inform morning exercise timing for BP in athletes; leaves open generalizability beyond this narrow cohort.
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a combined exercise session performed at different periods of the day on the 24h blood pressure (BP) response. Anaerobic threshold (AT) and 12 repetition maximum (12RM) tests were evaluated in nine Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes (male) (22±3.7 y; 176±5.0 cm; 73.4±9.7 kg; 6.8±2.1 % body fat). Four experimental sessions were performed: resistance exercise followed by aerobic exercise [Morning (MornS) and Afternoon (AfternS)] and Control (C) [Morning and Afternoon]. The morning sessions were conducted at 09:00 a.m. and the afternoon sessions were conducted at 3:00 p.m. The resistance exercise consisted of three sets at 90% of a 12RM for six resistance exercises. The aerobic exercise consisted of 15min at 90% of the AT. Blood pressure (BP) was measured before, during and 1h (Microlife(r) BP3A1C) after the performance of exercises in laboratory, and then during daily activities for the succeeding 23h by ambulatory BP monitoring (Dyna-MAPA(r)). Analysis of the area under the curve (AUC) indicated significant reductions in blood pressure parameters at various time points during the 24h monitoring period. For systolic BP (SBP), significantly lower values were shown following the morning session versus the control (MornS: 1756.2±100.8 vs. C: 1818.2±84.3 mmHg*15h; p < .05) and total-24h (MornS: 2695.8±143.3 vs. C: 2784.1±143.2 mmHg*24h; p < .05). The total-24h mean BP (MAP) was also significantly lower following the morning session versus the control (MornS: 2015.7±121.2 vs. C: 2087.3±153.8 mmHg*24h; p < .05). There were significant differences in the sleeping AUC of SBP (AfternS: 883.6±27.0 vs. C: 965.2±67.9 mmHg*9h; p< .05), diastolic BP (DBP) (AfternS: 481.4±30.9 vs. MornS: 552.9±34.2 and C: 562.1±52.3 mmHg*9h; p < .01) and MBP (AfternS: 651.9±22.4 vs. MornS: 708.7±43.1 and C: 726.9±64.7 mmHg*9h; p < .01). The combined exercise performed at different periods of the day contributed distinctly to the reduction of BP. The morning session was important in reducing SBP and MBP in the total-24h monitoring, while the afternoon session reduced SBP, DBP and MBP during sleeping in jiu-Jitsu athletes.

Mazzoccante et al. (2015) studied Healthy (Normotensive) (n=9). Combined exercise session (morning vs afternoon) vs. Control session (seated rest) was evaluated on Total 24-hour systolic blood pressure area under the curve (AUC) (p=<0.05). A combined exercise session performed in the morning significantly reduced total 24-hour systolic blood pressure compared to a control session in male Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes.
