Hypertension is the most prevalent modifiable risk factor with a high prevalence among older adults. Exercise is a nonpharmacological treatment shown to benefit all patients with hypertension.
This study examined the effects of a 14-week moderate intensity resistance training program (RT) on the maintenance of blood pressure and hand grip strength during an extended detraining period in elderly hypertensive women.
Twelve hypertensive sedentary elderly women completed 14 weeks of whole body RT at a moderate perceived exertion following a detraining period of 14 weeks.
Following the training period, participants demonstrated an increase in absolute hand grip strength (P=0.001), relative hand grip strength (P=0.032) and a decrease of systolic (P=0.001), diastolic (P=0.008), and mean blood pressure (P=0.002) when compared to pre-exercise values. In addition, these effects were sustained after 14 weeks of detraining.
Resistance training may be a valuable method to improve muscular strength and blood pressure in elderly people with benefits being maintained up to 14 weeks following training cessation.
高血压是最常见的可改变风险因素,在老年人中患病率很高。运动是一种非药物治疗方法,已证明对所有高血压患者有益。
本研究探讨了为期14周的中等强度抗阻训练计划(RT)对老年高血压女性在延长的停训期内血压维持和握力的影响。
12名久坐不动的老年高血压女性在经历14周的停训期后,以中等自觉用力程度完成了14周的全身抗阻训练。
与运动前相比,训练期结束后,参与者的绝对握力(P=0.001)、相对握力(P=0.032)增加,收缩压(P=0.001)、舒张压(P=0.008)和平均血压(P=0.002)下降。此外,在停训14周后,这些效果仍然持续。
抗阻训练可能是改善老年人肌肉力量和血压的一种有效方法,训练停止后长达14周仍能保持益处。
