Interventions
Fifteen female elderly women aged between 60-80 years were locally recruited through community posters and lectures to participate in the present study on a voluntary basis. Prospective participants c
All subjects were classified with hypertension stage 1 or 2 according to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (2
Participants were classified as sedentary and untrained according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (2001) and the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines (2009)
After this initial screening, subjects were provided with two familiarization training sessions consisting of one exercise for each major muscle group, in a total of 10 exercises employing two sets of
Seven days following strength and anthropometric testing
The ten repetition maximum (10RM) test was employed to evaluate strength in the following exercises: barbell bench press, horizontal leg press, front lat pull-down, leg extension, military press, leg

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Power training over traditional resistance training is expected to demonstrate better cardiovascular responses and lower oxidative stress;Systolic blood pressure was not statistically different (p > 0.05) between conditions at the beginning (118,53 mmHg) and during 30 min (124,33 mmHg) after sessions. Diastolic blood pressure, rate pressure product, and heart rate were not statistically different (p > 0.05) between conditions at the beginning (68,7 mmHg; 6790,5 bpm*mmHg; 62bpm) and during 45 min (71,99mmHg; 8715 bpm*mmHg; 70,43bpm) after sessions. Nitric oxide was significantly higher (p<0.0005) for PT (180,35µmol.L-1) compared to RT (117,14µmol.L-1) after 30 min of exercise. TBARS and TEAC were significantly higher (p<0.05) for PT (32,14µM; 307,28 µM) compared with RT (28,53 µM; 297,92 µM) only immediately after exercise. There were no differences for psychophysiological variables between protocols. | — |
