“…Where as, the resistance exercise session was observed signi icant systolic reductions of 9.6 ± 4.2 to 11.1 ± 4.2mmHg and diastolic of 4.4 ± 2.9 to 5.4 ± 2.6mmHg. Thus, it was found similar values compared in the literature for aerobic (23,24,3) and resistance exercise sessions (3,4). In TS and YS, the present study observed that there were signi icant systolic hipotension range of 7.8 ± 2.9 to 8.4 ± 2.6mmHg and diastolic of 2.8 ± 4.4 to 3.8 ± 4.9mmHg in the TS post-exercise hypotension.…”

“…They observed a signi icant reduction in SBP of 9.7 mmHg and DBP of 7.5 mmHg, while the control group had no signi icant change. The same by Tsai et al (24), after three sessions per week during 12 weeks (Yang Style) with 37 subjects (men and women -normotensive e hipertensive level 1), they had a mean reduction in SBP and DBP of 15.6 mmHg and 8.8 mmHg. However, the hipertensive population may have helped to provide greater reduction in blood pressure, because this population have higher inotropic response 3 .…”

However is unclear the cardiovascular effects, and if they present similar behavior to aerobic and resistance sessions. Objective: To evaluate the cardiovascular responses during the session and post-exercise hypotension (PEH) of Tai Chi Chuan (TS) and Yoga (YS) in comparison to aerobic (AS) and resistance (SR) exercises. Methods: Fourteen young women (22.3 ± 2 years) apparently healthy performed four sessions (AS, RS, TS and YS). The heart rate (HR), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded at resting, during (every 10 minutes) and until 50 minutes of recovery. Results: AS, RS, TS e YS showed signi icant increase in HR compared to resting.

“…People who can maintain a regular regimen of activity that is of longer duration or of more vigorous intensity are likely to derive greater health benefits than individuals who lead sedentary lives of physical inactivity which is considered to be the strongest individual risk factor for poor health (63). Exercise and lifestyle changes as therapeutic interventions for successfully managing symptoms of hypertension have been found to be efficacious in previous controlled studies (32, 41,44,69,70,71). For instance, aerobic exercise can be valuable in the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension because it may cause a decrease in both SBP and DBP.…”

Effect of long-term physical exercise on blood pressure in African Americans

exercise has been shown to noticeably reduce blood pressure (BP) and remarkably attenuate symptoms of hypertension. It is believed that physical exercise induces these beneficial effects by increasing the blood supply to the brain, enhancing the release of growth factors from skeletal muscles into the bloodstream, facilitating neurogenesis, stimulating angiogenesis, and influencing endothelial cell proliferation and subsequent endothelial cell membrane permeability. Previous findings also revealed that physical exercise significantly elevates brainderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations which appear to increase dramatically in BPsensing neurons during hypertension. Elevating BDNF levels is the proposed mechanism by which physical exercise reduces BP and lowers hypertension risk. Relatively effective measures exist today to prevent or delay much of the burden of hypertension and curtail or remediate the devastating consequences of chronic elevated BP over time. Nevertheless, this medical problem contributes to excess risk for morbidity and mortality and is a major public health concern, especially among minority populations. To date, however, it appears as though few studies have focused on the impact of non-pharmacological, behavioral interventions such as physical exercise on BP in minorities. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of long-term exercise on BP in an African American sample. Specifically, the aim was to determine whether a 12-week moderate intensity physical exercise program would significantly decrease BP. Because data provided evidence to support the hypothesis tested, it was concluded that physical exercise resulted in a significant reduction in BP in the African Americans sampled.

“…Así mismo, Wang et al, concluyó en su investigación que el tai chi parece estar asociado con mejoras en el bienestar psicológico, incluyendo la reducción del estrés, la ansiedad, la depresión y trastornos del estado de ánimo, y el aumento de la autoestima (21). Otro informe muestra que el qi gong es prometedora como una alternativa de intervención para personas mayores con enfermedad física crónica para mejorar su salud biopsicosocial (22). En tal sentido, los movimientos de tai chi enfatizan el control corporal, así como la respiración y el dominio de la mente.…”
