Key result
The change in 24-hour blood pressure after acute resistance training was significantly correlated with the chronic reduction in systolic (r=0.74) and diastolic (r=0.80) blood pressure.
Why the study?
Does the acute blood pressure response to resistance training correlate with the chronic blood pressure response in normotensive adult women?
Does the acute blood pressure response to resistance training correlate with the chronic blood pressure response in normotensive adult women?
Effect estimate: r=0.74 for SBP, r=0.80 for DBP
p-value: p=≤0.05
Acute post-exercise hypotension following a single resistance training session strongly correlates with chronic blood pressure reductions after 8 weeks of training, suggesting it could predict individual training efficacy.
Acute BP drops after RT may identify responders in normotensive women; hypothesis-generating and requires confirmation in hypertensives before guiding practice.
The purpose of the present study was to correlate the acute and chronic decrease in blood pressure (BP) following resistance training (RT). 13 normotensive women (18-49 years) completed an acute whole body RT session with 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 60% 1RM and then 8 weeks of RT as follows: 3/week, 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions maximum. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were measured up to 60 min and 24 h following RT (acute and chronic). The greatest acute decrease of SBP (108.5±7.0 mmHg) and DBP (71.5±6.4 mmHg) values over the 60-min period were reduced compared to pre-exercise (117.3±11.7 and 79.3±8.2 mmHg, respectively; p<0.05). The chronic effect on resting BP was observed only for those presenting acute post-exercise hypotension (PEH). The change in both SBP and DBP following acute RT was correlated with the chronic change in resting SBP and DBP (r>0.5; p≤0.05). The change in 24 h BP after acute RT was correlated with the chronic reduction in SBP (r=0.74) and DBP (r=0.80). The magnitude of PEH is a promising candidate for the prediction of individual BP-related training efficacy.

Tibana et al. (2014) studied Normotension (n=13). Resistance training vs. Pre-exercise (baseline) was evaluated on Correlation between acute and chronic change in resting blood pressure (r=0.74 for SBP, r=0.80 for DBP, p=≤0.05). The change in 24-hour blood pressure after acute resistance training was significantly correlated with the chronic reduction in systolic (r=0.74) and diastolic (r=0.80) blood pressure.
