Acute effect of interval step exercise versus continuous walk exercise on cardiovascular parameters in hypertensive postmenopausal women: A clinical, controlled, and randomized study.

Aiming the prevention and treatment of hypertension, regular physical exercise has become important to reduce blood pressure. The present experiment compared the effect of interval step exercise with continuous walking exercise on cardiovascular parameters of post-menopausal hypertensive women. The volunteers were submitted to three experimental sessions: control (CO), interval exercise (IE) and continuous exercise (CE), in randomized order.

Beetroot juice intake with different amounts of nitrate does not change aerobic exercise-mediated responses in heart rate variability in hypertensive postmenopausal women: A randomized, crossover and double-blind study.

Objectives: To compare the acute effects of a single dose of beetroot juice (BJ) with different concentrations of nitrate (NO ) on heart rate variability (HRV) in postmenopausal hypertensive women.

Methods: Thirteen hypertensive postmenopausal women (58.1 ± 4.

A Single Dose of Beetroot Juice Does Not Change Blood Pressure Response Mediated by Acute Aerobic Exercise in Hypertensive Postmenopausal Women.

Objective: To verify if acute intake of beetroot juice potentiates post-exercise hypotension (PEH) in hypertensive postmenopausal women.

Methods: Thirteen hypertensive postmenopausal women (58.1 ± 4.

Combined exercise training reduces climacteric symptoms without the additive effects of isoflavone supplementation: A clinical, controlled, randomised, double-blind study.

Background: Exercise and supplementation with isoflavones are therapies used to prevent and treat climacteric symptoms.

Aim: To verify the effects of 10 weeks of combined aerobic and resistance training and isoflavone supplementation on climacteric symptoms in postmenopausal women.

Methods: A randomised, double-blind, controlled clinical trial was performed.
