| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the cardiovascular effects of dancing and walking, and the biochemical mechanisms involved in each. Ten hypertensive elderly women (64.5 ± 5.1 yrs) were submitted to three session that consisted of 60 min of intervention with a 72-hr interval between each condition. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was monitored before, during, and at 60 min post-exercise recovery (Rec). Blood lactate (lac) and nitric oxide (NO 2 ̄) were measured at rest and at 60 min Rec. Only the dance session increased lac levels (∆ = + 0.79 mM, P<0.05) and reduced SBP at the 30th-min of Rec (∆ = -15 ± 4 mmHg, P<0.05) when compared to pre-exercise resting values. NO 2 ̄ increased immediately post-exercise for both exercise sessions (P<0.05). There were no significant differences within and between the control and walking sessions for the post-exercise NO 2 ̄ (P>0.05). The findings indicate that dancing was more effective than treadmill walking in reducing SBP in elderly women with controlled hypertension. |
