Experimental Protocol
The subjects were submitted to four days of pre and post training evaluations in the following sequence: anthropometric evaluation and body composition (DXA)
cardiorespiratory test (VO2 peak), maximal voluntary isometric contraction (knee and elbow), and Blood Pressure at rest. All pre and post training assessments were performed at 48 hour intervals by an

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria were: aged 50 years or older; controlled hypertension (<140/90 mmHg); and medical release for physical exercise.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Subjects were excluded if they had participated in an aerobic and/or resistance training program in the previous 6 months; presented congestive heart failure; recent myocardial infarction; or joint or muscular limitations that compromised the movements in any of the exercises; did not meet the minimum of 85% of the total number of sessions planned.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Blood Pressure Reduction of the elderly hypertensive patients, assessment of resting blood pressure, measured from an automatic device, from a reduction of 5% in systolic blood pressure and 3% in diastolic blood pressure in the post-training values compared to the pre-training values. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of the pulmonary capacity of the hypertensive elderly, measured from the peak VO2, by means of an incremental treadmill test, from a 10% increase in the post-training values compared to the pre-training values.;Improvement of the muscular strength of the upper and lower limbs of the hypertensive elderly, measured from the maximum voluntary isometric contraction (of the knee and elbow joints), by means of a manual dynamometer, from an increase of at least 5% of post-training values compared to the pre-training values. | — |
