Key result
Aerobic and resistance exercises, but not mat Pilates, significantly lowered systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure area under the curve compared to control (p < .05).
Why the study?
Do mat Pilates, aerobic, and resistance exercises improve hemodynamic and salivary nitrite responses in normotensive postmenopausal women?
Population
16 normotensive postmenopausal women
Comparison
Mat Pilates, aerobics, and resistance exercises vs Control session (no physical exercise)
Design

Follow-up
60 minutes post-exercise

Acute exercise effects on hemodynamics in postmenopausal women merit validation; leaves open clinical translation pending larger trials.
Do mat Pilates, aerobic, and resistance exercises improve hemodynamic and salivary nitrite responses in normotensive postmenopausal women?
p-value: p=< .05
Aerobic and resistance exercises, but not mat Pilates, effectively decrease arterial blood pressure acutely in normotensive postmenopausal women.
Batista et al. (2018) studied Normotensive postmenopausal women (n=16). Mat Pilates, aerobic exercise, and resistance exercise vs. Control (no physical exercise) was evaluated on Systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure area under the curve (p=< .05). Aerobic and resistance exercises, but not mat Pilates, significantly lowered systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure area under the curve compared to control (p < .05).
