Postexercise hypotension due to resistance exercise is not mediated by autonomic control: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Changes in autonomic control have been suggested to mediate postexercise hypotension (PEH). We investigated through meta-analysis the after-effects of acute resistance exercise (RE) on blood pressure (BP) and autonomic activity in individuals with normal and elevated BP. Electronic databases were searched for trials including: adults; exclusive RE interventions; and BP and autonomic outcomes measured pre- and postintervention for at least 30  min. Analyses incorporated random-effects assumptions.
