Caffeine before resistance training elevates systolic BP; challenges expectations of postexercise hypotension after intense RT in normotensive and prehypertensive men.
Does caffeine ingestion prior to intense resistance training affect postexercise blood pressure in normotensive and prehypertensive men?
Intense resistance training, with or without caffeine ingestion, may mitigate the expected postexercise blood pressure-lowering effect in normotensive and prehypertensive men.
