In 2022, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were the primary causes of death globally. Although there is evidence of exercise in reducing blood pressure in older adults, there is still no consensus on the benefits of concurrent training on hemodynamic parameters in this population. This study aimed to investigate the effects of elastic-band power training interspersed with aerobic exercise on hemodynamic parameters (HP) and the lower-limb function in older adults. Methodology. Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to the control group (CG; n=12) and the intervention group (IG; n=12). IG participants performed power exercises with elastic bands interspersed with aerobic exercise twice a week for 8 weeks. HP were measured with an automatic, noninvasive, calibrated, and validated arterial blood pressure monitor. Lower limb functional capacity was assessed through the test of lifting and sitting down 5 times or as quickly as possible. Statistical analysis was performed using Prism software. Results. No changes in HP (P>0.05) were observed after the 8 weeks, whereas the lower limb functional capacity improved after the intervention (P<0.05). Discussion. One hypothesis to explain our findings is the baseline blood pressure levels. The participants in this research do not present high baseline values. On the other hand, studies have shown the benefits of exercise in PH of older adults with high blood pressure. Conclusions. These findings indicate that power exercises interspersed with aerobic exercise improve only the lower limb functional capacity of older adults’ lower limbs. Although no significant differences were found in PH, it is important to highlight the important clinical reduction in systolic blood pressure (Δ= -6.0 mmHg), with the consequent reduction in the risk of cardiovascular mortality in the sample investigated. 2025 artículo científico 0123-7047 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=71982942003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71982942003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71982942003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71982942003/71982942003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71982942003/movil 10.29375/01237047.5125 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=719 MedUNAB application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga MedUNAB (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.28 |
