Efeito do treinamento resistido em marcadores de estresse oxidativo e parâmetros hemodinâmicos em hipertensos sedentários

Abstract

Introduction: The Arterial Systemic hypertension (SH) is a high incidence disease in the world and is considered a public health problem. Exercise is recommended for prevention and treatment of hypertension, in particular, resistance training (RT) is still consolidating, since most of the studies with this population evaluates the effects of aerobic training or competing. Objective: To analyze the effects of RT in oxidative stress markers and hemodynamic parameters of sedentary hypertensive individuals. Methods: 16 hypertensive individuals intentionally divided into experimental group (EG) (n = 8) who practiced RT and control group (CG) (n = 8) were not part of the training. Training was conducted for 12 weeks, three times a week. The training intensity was 50% (first 3 weeks), 60% (4 weeks after) and 70% (last 5 weeks). Anthropometric, hemodynamic and biochemical variables were evaluated. Results: as a result the training the EG had significant improvements in lipid profile and antioxidant mechanisms, as well as in the control of blood pressure (BP). Conclusions: 12 weeks of RT program was effective in the control of BP, improvement of antioxidant mechanisms and lipid profile in hypertensive patients. The RT is a practice well accepted by the hypertensive population that can and should be emphasized in future studies.
