Key result
Low intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction induced similar post-exercise hypotension for systolic blood pressure compared to traditional resistance exercise (P>0.05 between groups).

Supports low-intensity BFR as alternative for post-exercise BP lowering in trained normotensives; extends evidence on exercise-induced hypotension beyond high-intensity protocols.

p-value: p=>0.05
Low intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction induces similar post-exercise systolic hypotension as traditional high-intensity resistance exercise in trained normotensive men.
Mauro et al. (2015) conducted an RCT in normotensive (n=8). Low intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction vs. Traditional resistance exercise (3 x 10 repetitions at 70% 1-RM) was evaluated on Blood pressure response (systolic and diastolic) (p=>0.05). Low intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction induced similar post-exercise hypotension for systolic blood pressure compared to traditional resistance exercise (P>0.05 between groups).
