Abstract

Aerobic exercise is a non-pharmacological strategy for controlling and preventing cardiovascular risk factors. Its regular practice is associated with a reduction in blood pressure values in individuals with systemic arterial hypertension. However, the exercise intensity that promotes the greatest expected physiological responses/acute hypotensive effect in young normotensive individuals is not well established. This experimental study aimed to identify which aerobic exercise intensity, 60% or 80% of training heart rate (THR), promotes the greatest acute hypotensive effect in normotensive young adults.  Twelve volunteers of both sexes aged between 18 and 25 years were selected and allocated to a single group that randomly performed two experimental sessions of aerobic exercise, one of intense exercise with 80% of the FCT and another of moderate exercise with 60% of the FCT and a control session in which the individual did not perform any exercise.  After the sessions, blood pressure was measured at the end of the exercise (T0), and every 15 minutes of recovery until completing one hour. It is concluded that no hypotensive effect was observed in any of the aerobic exercise intensities performed by normotensive young adults.
