Brief Summary: Introduction Strength training ST is an important non-pharmacological means to reduce blood pressure BP Objective To verify the pressure response of women after 8 weeks of ST Method Fourteen women were divided into young group YG and middle age MAG and submitted to ST for 8 weeks lasting 60 minutes in 11 alternating exercises per segment with intensity of 12 to 13 on the subjective perception scale of effort BP was verified at weeks 1 4 and 8
Detailed Description: The sample consisted of 14 women which were divided into two groups young group YG 7 and middle age group MAG 7 Inclusion criteria were females aged 18 to 59 years sedentary or who had not been engaged in any physical activity in the last 6 months and the availability of time three times a week in the afternoon shift Exclusion criteria were morbid obesity BMI 40 kgm-2 presenting any osteo-articular dysfunction

After the adaptation period resistance exercise sessions were started which were performed 3 times a week on alternate days in which each session lasted 60 minutes and performed for a period of 8 weeks Each session consisted of 10-minute warm-up on the treadmill or bicycle shortly after starting the exercises in the form of alternating circuit by segment as machine bench press extension chair high pull front flexor table direct curl leg press triceps pulley adductor abdominal abductor and calf In all 10 exercises 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions were performed with an interval of 60 seconds between sets and intensity of 12 arbitrary units au to 14 au measured by the rate perception effort scale In the first fourth and eighth week pre-exercise blood pressure BP was verified in which the participants sat for a period of 10 minutes at rest in a comfortable chair with legs uncrossed feet flat on the floor back leaning on the chair left arm at heart level and palm up1 to measure BP using a G Tech-branded automatic digital device MASTER MA100 model
