Pre-hypertension (pre-HT) (Blood Pressure (BP) ≥120/80mmHg to ≤ 140/90mmHg) increases the risk of developing hypertension (HT). BP reductions following acute exercise are known as post exercise hypotension (PEH). BP and perhaps PEH shows a daily circadian rhythm. Purpose: To compare the magnitude of PEH after morning and evening aerobic exercise in adults with pre-HT. Hypothesis: The magnitude of PEH will be larger after evening versus morning exercise. Participants: Pre-HT men and women 50-65 years old. Study Design: Participants engaged in cycling exercise (60% VO2max) on two occasions: 1.5 and 11 hours following waking. Cardiovascular function was assessed for 30 minutes pre and one hour post exercise. Results: 1) Systolic PEH responses affected by TOD differed by gender. 2) Baseline Heart Rate Variability and its response to exercise differed gender but not TOD. The inconsistent significant gender and TOD differences of PEH and its mechanisms suggest that this group.

Estudos na fase crônica da hipertensão comprovam a eficácia do treinamento aeróbio (T) em reduzir parcialmente a pressão arterial (PA), no qual correlacionavam-se com o remodelamento vascular. Pouco se sabe sobre o potencial efeito benéfico do T iniciado em fase pré-hipertensiva. Os objetivos foram analisar em SHR jovens (4 semanas) e seus controles WKY os efeitos sequenciais do T sobre níveis de PA, alterações vasculares, conteúdo de colágeno total, associando-as à modulação neural. Animais em fase pré-hipertensiva realizaram T de baixa intensidade (50-60%) ou sedentarismo por 8 semanas. Foram avaliados os parâmetros funcionais e seus componentes espectrais, alterações estruturais ocorridas em artérias (femoral e renal), arteríolas (músculo sóleo e temporal) e com conteúdo de colágeno. O T reduziu a PAM no SHR na 4ª e 8ª semana, provocou bradicardia de repouso em ambos os grupos na 8ª, melhorou a variabilidade da FC (WKY e SHR) e impediu o aumento da variabilidade da PAS nos SHR. Hipertensão provocou aumento da razão parede/luz e conteúdo de colágeno em ambas as artérias, T impediu esse aumento na artéria femoral, efeito não foi observado na artéria renal. T impediu a queda da razão parede/luz em arteríolas do músculo sóleo sem efeitos no músculo sóleo. / Studies in the chronic phase of hypertension prove the effectiveness of aerobic training (T) in partially reduce blood pressure (BP), which correlated with vascular remodeling. Little is known about the potential beneficial effect of T started in pre-hypertensive stage. The objectives were to analyze in young SHR (4 weeks) and their WKY controls the sequential effects of T on BP levels, vascular changes, total collagen content, linking them to the neural modulation. Animals in the pre-hypertension stage T made of low intensity (50-60%) or inactivity for 8 weeks. We evaluated the functional parameters and their spectral components, structural changes in arteries (femoral and renal), arterioles (soleus muscle and temporal) and collagen content. OT reduced MAP in SHR at 4 and 8 weeks, caused bradycardia standby in both groups in 8th improved HR variability (WKY and SHR) and prevent the increase of SBP variability in SHR. Hypertension caused ratio increase / wall light and collagen content in both arteries, t prevented this increase in femoral artery, an effect was not observed in the renal artery. T prevented the fall of reason / wall light in arterioles of the soleus muscle without effects in the soleus muscle.
