Abstract
Objective:
To evaluate responses of heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), as well as the double product (DP) in multi- (MJ) and single-joint (SJ) strength training sessions.
Methods:
The sample was composed by 12 mans. Interventions had four different exercises in each day, three sets of eight to ten repetitions.
Results:
About SBP, MJ provided lower increments in relation to the SJ (p < 0.001). There was effect of the moment for HR (p < 0.001) and for DPB (p < 0.001). The PAD decreases after warm up and had smaller value in the penultimate exercise. For DP, was shown lower training effect for the multi-joint sessions (p = 0.002).
Conclusions:
MJ provided lower stress and greater cardiovascular hypotensive response when compared to SJ.
