Why the study?
Does a 2-minute rest interval compared to a 1-minute rest interval improve postexercise hypotensive response in normotense older men performing strength training?
Population
17 normotense older men (mean age 67.6 ± 2.2 years) with at least 1 year of strength training experience
Comparison
Strength training session with 2 minutes' rest… vs Strength training session with 1 minute rest…
Design
RCT, random assignment
Follow-up
60 minutes

Clinicians may use 1-minute rests without compromising postexercise hypotension; confirms rest interval independence in older normotensive men.
Does a 2-minute rest interval compared to a 1-minute rest interval improve postexercise hypotensive response in normotense older men performing strength training?
Strength training induces a postexercise hypotensive response in normotense older men regardless of whether 1- or 2-minute rest intervals are used.
