Hypotensive response after water-walking and land-walking exercise sessions in healthy trained and untrained women

Figures & data

Figure 1 Values expressed as means ± standard deviation. Panel (A) systolic blood pressure, (B) diastolic blood pressure, (C) mean arterial pressure, and (D) heart rate.

Note: *Significantly different (P < 0.05) vs untrained on land.

Table 1 Demographic characteristics of patients

	Untrained	Trained	P value
Age (years)	33 ± 7	32 ± 6	>0.05
Body weight (kg)	57 ± 16	63 ± 8	>0.05
Height (cm)	162 ± 11	167 ± 13	>0.05
Body mass index (kg/m^2)	22 ± 7	23 ± 3	>0.05
VO2 max (mL/kg/min)	31 ± 3	45 ± 8	<0.01

Note: Values expressed as means ± standard deviation.

Abbreviation: VO_{2 max}, maximum aerobic power.

Figure 2 Values are expressed as means ± standard deviation of systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure in untrained and trained women measured after an acute session of exercise in water (○) and on land (•).

Notes: *Significantly different (P < 0.05) vs rest in water; ^#significantly different (P < 0.05) vs rest on land.
