Hemodynamic effects of short-term arm-cranking exercise training in hypertensive type-2 diabetics

Summary Objectives. — To investigate resting heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), pulse pressure (PP), and rate-pressure product (RPP), as well as the occurrence of post-exercise hypotension (PEH) before and after 4 weeks of arm-cranking exercise training in hypertensive type-2 diabetics. Methods. — Sixteen individuals were allocated in trained (TRA; n = 10) or control group (CON; n = 6). They performed two submaximal...
