This study evaluated the impact of functional training (FT) on the ambulatory blood pressure and physical fitness of resistant hypertensive older adults.
This randomized clinical and controlled rehearsal involved 15 participants from Juazeiro do Norte-CE divided into two groups: a control group (CG), = 7, without physical training, and an experimental group (EG), = 8, subjected to 24 sessions of FT. The comparative analysis included ambulatory blood pressure (24 h mapping) and physical fitness (Senior Fitness Test), using an ANOVA of two factors, an alpha of 0.05, and a post hoc by Bonferroni where necessary. The dimension of the intervention effect was verified using Eta Squared.
The results show that FT promoted a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (SAP) during the day and at night, as well as improving physical fitness, including the force/resistance of the lower and upper limbs, physical mobility, and aerobic resistance. The flexibility of the upper and lower limbs was not affected.
It is concluded that FT is effective in reducing SAP and improving physical fitness in resistant older adults. However, this type of training may positively influence general physical fitness of older adults with resistant hypertension.
本研究评估了功能训练（FT）对抗高血压老年患者的动态血压和身体适应性的影响。
这是一项随机临床对照研究，涉及来自塞阿拉州若泽城的 15 名参与者，分为两组：对照组（CG），n=7，无身体训练，实验组（EG），n=8，接受 24 次 FT。比较分析包括动态血压（24 小时监测）和身体适应性（老年人健康测试），使用双因素方差分析，α 值为 0.05，必要时使用 Bonferroni 事后检验。干预效果的维度通过 Eta 平方进行验证。
结果表明，FT 可显著降低白天和夜间的收缩压（SAP），并改善身体适应性，包括上下肢的力量/阻力、身体活动性和有氧耐力。上下肢的柔韧性不受影响。
FT 可有效降低抗高血压老年患者的 SAP，并改善身体适应性。然而，这种训练可能会对患有抗高血压的老年患者的整体身体适应性产生积极影响。
