Blood pressure response to strength training may be influenced by angiotensinogen A-20C and angiotensin II type I receptor A1166C genotypes in older men and women.

Objectives: To determine the influence of angiotensinogen (AGT) A-20C, M235 T, and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1) A1166C genotypes on resting blood pressure (BP) response to strength training (ST) in older men and women.

Design: Prospective intervention study with retrospective genotyping.

Setting: University of Maryland Exercise Physiology Laboratory.
