Introduction: Studies have demonstrated the positive effect of resistance exercise on blood pressure (BP) in the post-exercise period. However, studies involving medicated, older hypertensive patients are scarce in the literature. Objective: To evaluate the subacute blood pressure behavior of pharmacologically-treated older hypertensive women after a session of resistance exercises. Methodology: Controlled clinical trial, carried out with 30 older hypertensive women. The procedures of the study was carried out over three days with the same patients, with an interval of 48 hours, and consisted of a 10RM test session, an experimental protocol (EP) and a control protocol (CP). A 10 RM test was carried out to determine the load for the EP, which consisted of machine leg press, knee extensions, pull-ups, biceps curl and machine bench press. In the EP, three series with 8 to 10 repetitions were carried out at 2- minute intervals. In the CP the exercises were not done but BP was measured at the same moments. The BP measurements were taken before, immediately after and every ten minutes until 60 minutes after the exercise (EP) or control (CP). Results: In neither the EP nor the CP was there any significant increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the immediate post-exercise period. As time went on, there was a significant difference in BP with a decrease in both SBP and DBP in both EP and CP. Conclusion: The data from the present study offer a good indication that the prescription of resistance exercises may be carried out safely with this group of patients. The BP reduction seems to be influenced by rest post protocols and not by exercise. These data need to be confirmed with a greater number of individuals, controlled sessions and also medium- and long-term studies.
