Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to explore how acute resistance exercise affects blood pressure (BP) and autonomic nervous system activity among individuals with normal and elevated BP.
- The analysis included 30 trials and found that resistance exercise led to a moderate decrease in both systolic and diastolic BP for participants, linked to an increase in sympathetic activity and a decrease in parasympathetic activity.
- Overall, the study suggests that the changes in BP after resistance exercise may relate to shifts in autonomic control, challenging the current understanding of autonomic fluctuations as mechanisms behind postexercise hypotension (PEH).
