Abstract

Abstract : Objective: The aim of this study was to verify hemodynamic responses after Mat Pilates exercises. Design and method: The study counted on 16 participants, all normotensive postmenopausal women (55.3 ± 6.9 years, 27, 7 ± 3, 4 Kg/m 2 ), who were submitted to four experimental sessions in random order and crossover design. These being, PILATES: ten floor exercises during 35 minutes, with a Rate of Perception of Exertion (RPE) between 11 and 14; AEROBIC: 35 minutes on the treadmill between 60 and 70%of heart rate reserve; RESISTANCE: resistance exercises at 60% of 1RM; CONTROL: no physical exercise. Blood pressure (BP) (Omron – HEM-7200) and heart rate variability (HRV) (Polar® RS800CX) were evaluated at rest and during 60 minutes after the intervention. Samples of saliva were collected at rest and immediately, 30 and 60 minutes after exercise for analysis of nitrite concentration (NO2-) and total proteins (TP). The area under the curve (AUC) of BP was used to compare all sessions. Results: Systolic, diastolic and mean BPs AUCs were lower (p < 0, 05) in both aerobic and resistance exercises sessions but not Pilates session comparing with control session. NO2- concentrations in saliva were higher one hour after the end of all exercises sessions comparing with control session, which did not occur in the TP concentration. The HRV was higher after resistance session in relation to all other sessions. Conclusions: These results indicate that acute Mat Pilates session was not capable of decreasing arterial blood pressure after training in post menopause women.
