To evaluate changes in walk test performance and blood pressure (BP) responses following a 12-week exercise-based outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. Methods. Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and resting systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), post-6MWT heart rate (HR), and post-6MWT BPs were measured before and after CR in 311 (237 men,74 women) patients. Using age as a covariate, 2 by 2 (Gender \u00d7 Measurement) ANCOVAs were used to determine differences in 6MWT performance and hemodynamic variables. Results. After adjusting for age, men covered a greater 6MWT distance than women; pre-CR versus post-CR program values are as follows: men, 429.3 \u00b1 94.6 versus 557.6 \u00b1 90.7 m, P \u2264 .001; women, 374.9 \u00b1 100.7 versus 483.2 \u00b1 82.9 m, P \u2264 .001. Both genders reduced resting DBP following the CR program (men: 67.2 \u00b1 9.8 vs 65.6 \u00b1 8.5 mm Hg, P = .034; women: 69.2 \u00b1 10.7 vs 65.0 \u00b1 8.0 mm Hg, P = .001) and increased HR following the 6MWT after the CR program (men: 97.7 \u00b1 16.8 vs 112.7 \u00b1 21.3 bpm, P \u2264 .001; women: 100.7 \u00b1 20.8 vs 110.2 \u00b1 22.0 bpm, P \u2264 .001). Similarly, SBP increased immediately following the 6MWT (122.8 \u00b1 18.5 vs 133.6 \u00b1 20.7 mm Hg; P \u2264 .001) in men but not in women. Conclusion. The present findings indicate similar relative improvements in 6MWT performance and BP responses in adherent men and women following an exercise-based CR program.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1559827621995129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,23]],"date-time":"2021-02-23T01:17:46Z","timestamp":1614043066000},"page":"772-778","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Improved Walk Test Performance and Blood Pressure Responses in Men and Women Completing Cardiac Rehabilitation: Implications Regarding Exercise Trainability"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4226-7817","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felipe","family":"Araya-Ram\u00edrez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Movement Science and Quality of Life, National University, Heredia, Costa Rica"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Moncada-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Movement Sciences Research Center (CIMOHU), University of Costa Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter W.","family":"Grandjean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health, Exercise Science and Recreation Management, University of Mississippi, Oxford, Mississippi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barry A.","family":"Franklin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Preventive Cardiology and Cardiac Rehabilitation, William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan, and Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, Rochester, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1559827621995129","unstructured":"Ministerio de Salud.
