Daily Movement Matters: Post-Exercise Hypotension in Peripheral Arterial Disease-A Quasi-Experimental Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Aerobic and resistance training have acute effects on blood pressure (BP) in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, the combined effect of both exercises in a single session is still unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of a single exercise session combining walking and circuit-based training on BP in patients with PAD. Methods: Participants with PAD (n = 13; 65.0 ± 10.2 years; 76.9% male) underwent a supervised exercise therapy (SET) intervention (312 sessions, 24 sessions/patient) that included 15-30 min of walking, followed by 15 min circuit-based training. Clinic systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) were recorded 5 min before and after each exercise session. Longitudinal changes were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance
