Inter-Individual Responses to Acute Resistance Training in the Blood Pressure Dipping Response in Normotensive and Hypertensive Men.

The blood pressure dipping response to acute resistance training exercise (RTE) is scarce in the literature. We determined the inter-individual blood pressure (BP) dipping variability of normotensive (NT) and hypertensive (HT) men completing two modalities of a single session of RTE. Volunteers (NT = 21, HT = 20) underwent a non-exercise control (CTRL), RTE high-sets low-repetitions (HSLR), and RTE high-repetitions low-sets (HRLS) conditions.

Are Teams Whose Players Are More Committed To the Team More Resilient? the Role of Intra-Group Conflict.

One hundred seventy (170) male soccer players (16-38 years; M = 18.35; SD = 4.
