Abstract
The
aim of this study was to
examine
arterial blood pressures
during the inactive recovery period following supramaximal dynamic
exercise.Nine male handball players (ages 21,5
±1,5)
performed Wingate Anaerobic Power Test (WAPT). Blood pressures and
heart rate (HR) were taken before the test (Rest), immediately after
the test (R0) and during inactive seated recovery period,
respectively 3 minutes (R3), 6 minutes (R6), 10 minutes (R10), 15
minutes (R15), 20 minutes (R20) and 25 minutes (R25) after the test.
Systolic
blood pressure (SBP) showed a significant increase immediately after
exercise and did not indicate any significant decrease until the end
of the recovery period, which lasted 25 minutes. Diastolic blood
pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased 6 mmHg and 7
mmHg respectively at the end of the recovery period compared with
the resting period (p<0.05). In conclusion. This study did not
indicate any significant changes in SBP, during seated recovery that
were reported in submaximal studies. Therefore the risk of
hypotension and syncope after exercise are lower in trained
individuals.
