Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the aerobic and resistance exercise effects on the anthropometric profile and cardiovascular responses in elderly people with High Blood Pressure (HBP). The sample consisted of 53 volunteers of both genders who were all sedentary, at the age of 64.28±4.7 years old, fair skin, with HBP. The blood pressure levels, cardiac frequency (CF), body weight (Kg), BMI and body fat percentage (BF%) were analyzed before, during and after the period of exercises. The training protocol consisted of exercise sessions divided into 20 minutes of aerobic activity and 40 minutes of dynamic resistance exercises, three times a week, during a period of six months. Results showed a significant difference in relation to the BF%, followed by a linear reduction in the Average Blood Pressure (ABP) and CF, as well as an improvement in important morphofunctional parameters
