Continuous vs Aerobic Postexercise Hypotension

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postexercise Hypotension

In brief

This study examines the effect of obesity and gender on postexercise hypotension with three different randomized exercise protocols or varying intensity. Subjects will be separated into obese and non-obese groups and then further by gender. From there, they will be put through a control, continuous exercise bout, and aerobic interval bout of exercise in a randomized order over three visits. Post exercise blood pressure, as well as other non-invasive cardiac measures will be taken over a 4 hour period.
