Hypotension following mild bouts of resistance exercise and submaximal dynamic exercise

Abstract Our purposes were (1) to examine resting arterial blood pressure following an acute bout of resistance exercise and submaximal dynamic exercise, (2) to examine the effects of these exercises on the plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide ([ANP]), and (3) to evaluate the potential relationship between [ANP] and post-exercise blood pressure. Thirteen males [24.3 ± (2.4) years] performed 15 min of unilateral leg press exercise …
