Acute intraocular pressure responses changes during dynamic resistance training in primary open-angle glaucoma patients and age-matched controls.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical exercise has been proposed as a feasible strategy for preventing and managing glaucoma by modulating intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP). The primary objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the IOP and OPP responses to dynamic resistance exercises (leg extension and biceps curl).

Methods

Twenty-six patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) (age = 68.9 ± 8.1 years) and 18 healthy age-matched controls (age = 69.6 ± 5.9 years) were recruited. Participants performed one set of 10 repetitions of both exercises at low- (light bar) and moderate-intensity (15RM). IOP and blood pressure were measured at baseline and after 1 and 5 min of passive recovery. Additionally, IOP was measured during training after each of th
