Effects of Exercise Order of Combined Power and Endurance Training on Arterial Stiffness and Hemodynamic Parameters in Previously Trained Hypertensive Older Adults.
Background: Combining power training (PT) with endurance training (ET) offers health benefits for older adults. However, little is known about the effects of PT plus ET on arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters in previously trained hypertensive older adults. Additionally, the effects of exer...

| Sumario: | Background: Combining power training (PT) with endurance training (ET) offers health benefits for older adults. However, little is known about the effects of PT plus ET on arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters in previously trained hypertensive older adults. Additionally, the effects of exercise order—PT followed by ET versus ET followed by PT—on arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters remain unclear in older adults. Objective: This study aimed to a) examine the effects of concurrent training (CT) on arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters in previously trained hypertensive older adults; and b) to investigate the effects of concurrent PT and ET exercise order on arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters in previously trained hypertensive adults. Methods: Older adults with grade 1 hypertension were randomized into two groups: PT then ET group (DPTETG) and ET then PT group (ETDPTG). Both groups trained twice weekly for 16 weeks. Arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters were measured at baseline and after 16 weeks. Results: No significant changes in arterial stiffness or hemodynamic parameters emerged after 16 weeks in either group (p >.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that 16 weeks of different exercise orders of concurrent power and ET do not change arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters in older adults with hypertension. |
