Abstract

Objectives. — Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is a clinically relevant phenomenon, which occurs after aerobic and resistance exercises. However, its existence following functional training (FT) remains unknown with negative feelings induced by the high intensity component of FT a potentially limiting factor to adherence of FT. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of a single bout of FT on psychophysiological (blood pressure and affective emotional) responses.

Equipment and methods. — Twenty-three female (n = 9) and male (n = 14) young (21.4 ± 3.8 years) with normal blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure 109 ± 10 and 65 ± 7 mmHg, respectively) and body mass index (24.7 ± 4.6 kg/m2) completed two experimen- tal sessions in a random order: no exercise/control or FT session. The FT bout consisted of four phases including warm-up, two phases neuromuscular and last one phase with high-intensity interval training. During each phase, ratings of perceived exertion and affective responses (Feeling and Felt Arousal Scales) were obtained. Blood pressure was obtained before and up to 60-minutes after the experimental sessions. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance with significance achieved at P < 0.05.
