Abstract EN
Aerobic and isometric training have been shown to reduce resting blood pressure, but simultaneous aerobic and isometric training have not been studied.
The purpose of this study was to compare the changes in resting systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) after 6 weeks of either (i) simultaneous walking and isometric handgrip exercise (WHG), (ii) walking (WLK), (iii) isometric handgrip exercise (IHG), or control (CON).
Forty-eight healthy sedentary participants (age 20.7 ± 1.7 yrs, mass 67.2 ± 10.2 kg, height 176.7 ± 1.2 cm, male n=26, and female n=22) were randomly allocated, to one of four groups (n=12 in each).
Training was performed 4 × week−1 and involved either treadmill walking for 30 minutes (WLK), handgrip exercise 3 × 10 s at 20% MVC (IHG), or both performed simultaneously (WHG).
Resting SBP, DBP, and MAP were recorded at rest, before and after the 6-week study period.
Reductions in resting blood pressure were significantly greater in the simultaneous walking and handgrip group than any other group.
These results show that simultaneous walking and handgrip training may have summative effects on reductions in resting blood pressure.
