Figure 3

Changes in blood pressure (BP) after exercise. (A) Resistance exercise (RE) induced significant decreases in resting systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P = 0.045) but not diastolic blood pressure (DBP) for men, and a group × mode × time interaction for DBP for women (ψ, P = 0.02). (B) AE showed significant training effects in both cohorts (P = 0.048) yet no significant group × mode differences nor a significant decrease in [DBP].
