Arterial blood pressure response after maximal aerobic and anaerobic tests in physically active subjects and athletes.

O objetivo foi avaliar o comportamento da press?o arterial utilizando testes m?ximos aer?bicos e anaer?bicos em ATs (AT) e indiv?duos FAs (FT). Caracterizou-se como crossover, no qual todos os volunt?rios foram submetidos, de forma aleat?ria (sorteio), a todas as condi??es experimentais, sendo eles controles deles mesmos. Participaram da pesquisa 12 indiv?duos sendo 6 FT e 6 AT de ciclismo. Os sujeitos foram submetidos a dois testes m?ximos em cicloerg?metro: Balke e Wingate (randomicamente). Para an?lise dos dados utilizamos o programa estat?stico Graph Pad Prism (v5). Observamos que o comportamento ? equivalente entre os FT e AT. Nossos resultados demonstraram que ambos os protocolos utilizados n?o induziram hipotens?o p?s-exerc?cio (HPE) nos dois grupos observados. Sugerimos que o tempo pode ser o fator mais importante para a indu??o da HPE. Conclu?mos que exerc?cios m?ximos aer?bicos e anaer?bicos n?o foram capazes de produzir a HPE tanto em AT como em indiv?duos FA.The arterial blood pressure was evaluated using maximal aerobic and anaerobic tests in athletes (AT) and in physically active individuals (PA). This study is characterized as a crossover, in which all volunteers were submitted to experimental conditions, and they are control of them own. Twelve individuals participated, 6 PA and 6 cyclists AT. The individuals performed two maximal tests in cycle ergometer: Balke and Wingate (randomly). Data analysis was through Graph Pad Prism program. We observed that arterial blood pressure response was similar between PA and AT. Our results show that both protocols used did not induced the post-exercise hypotension (PEH) in the two groups observed. We suggest that the time may be the most important factor for the induction of PEH. We conclude that maximum aerobic and anaerobic exercise is not able to produce PEH in AT or in PA
