Postexercise hypotension and heart rate variability response after water- and land-based high-intensity interval exercise in prehypertensive obese men.

A randomized crossover trial was carried out in prehypertensive obese men to compare postexercise hypotension and heart rate variability (HRV) following water-based and land-based high-intensity interval exercises (HIIEs). Nine prehypertensive obese participants, aged 23.6± 2.

Combined exercise training improves blood pressure at rest and during exercise in young obese prehypertensive men.

Background: Regular exercise is an effective intervention to yield health-related benefits, though an optimal dosage and its ability to improve hemodynamics at rest and during exercise are yet to be established. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effects of a combined (aerobic and resistance) exercise training program on hemodynamic variables at rest and during exercise in young obese prehypertensive men.

Methods: Twenty obese prehypertensive men (age: 20±1.
