Decrease of 5 millimeters of mercury in central or aortic blood pressure, measured using the non-invasive method of applanation tonometry.<br>Data collected before and after a session of two resistance training protocols. Two resistance training protocols were also collected before and after 12 weeks.;Decrease of 5 millimeters of mercury in outpatient blood pressure, measured through 24-hour ambulatory monitoring of brachial blood pressure.<br>Data collected after a session of two resistance training protocols. Two resistance training protocols were also collected before and after 12 weeks.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Decrease of 3 meters per second or 3 percent in central arterial stiffness (carotid femoral pulse wave speed and Augmentation index)<br>Measured using the non-invasive method of applanation tonometry.<br>Data collected before and after a session of two resistance training protocols. Two resistance training protocols were also collected before and after 12 weeks.;Decrease of 5 millimeters of mercury in clinical blood pressure, oscillometric measurement of brachial blood pressure.<br>Data collected before and after a session of two resistance training protocols. Two resistance training protocols were also collected before and after 12 weeks.;5 beats per minute decrease in outpatient heart rate, measured through 24-hour ambulatory heart rate monitoring<br>Data collected after a session of two resistance training protocols.
