Methods: Twelve overweight women with normal BP were recruited and performed six experimental protocols in a randomized order: (1) control protocol (CC), where BP was assessed without exercises performed; (2) ST; (3) foam rolling warm-up followed by ST (FR + ST); (4) specific warm-up followed by ST (SW + ST); (5) aerobic exercise followed by ST (AE + ST); and (6) stretching exercises followed by ST (SE + ST). ST consisted of three sets at 80% of 10 repetition maximum with a self-suggested rest interval between sets for bench press, back squat, bench press 45\u00b0, front squat, lat pull-down, leg press, shoulder press, and leg extension. Results: All experimental protocol had a lower total training volume, fatigue index, and repetitions performance in relation to ST (p &lt; 0.05). No significant reduction was observed in systolic and diastolic BP for any protocol or exercise, although the effect size magnitudes ranged from trivial to large. Decreases in maximum repetitions, resistance to fatigue, and total training volume were performed before ST as warm-up strategies. However, these strategies indicated a clinical reduction in BP with a large and meaningful magnitude (effect size) in recreationally strength-trained women with normal to elevated BP. Conclusions: The results of this investigation may help to influence decision-making by practitioners who desire to elicit a post-exercise hypotension response in both subjects with normal BP and hypertension.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd12010007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,26]],"date-time":"2024-12-26T21:13:18Z","timestamp":1735247598000},"page":"7","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Muscular Performance and Blood Pressure After Different Pre-Strength Training Strategies in Recreationally Strength-Trained Women: Cross-Over Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1866-553X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Est\u00eav\u00e3o Rios","family":"Monteiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Physical Education, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (EEFD\/UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-599, Brazil"},{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Rehabilitation Science, Centro Universit\u00e1rio Augusto Motta (UNISUAM), Rio de Janeiro 21032-060, Brazil"},{"name":"Undergraduate Program in Physical Education, IBMR University Centre, Rio de Janeiro 22631-002, Brazil"},{"name":"Undergraduate Program in Physical Education, Centro Universit\u00e1rio Augusto Motta (UNISUAM), Rio de Janeiro 21041-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5841-798X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linda S.","family":"Pescatello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1981-6638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Leit\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sciences and Technology Department, Superior School of Education of Polytechnic Institute of Setubal, 2910-761 Set\u00fabal, Portugal"},{"name":"Life Quality Research Centre (CIEQV), 2040-413 Leiria, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcelo Jos\u00e9 Colonna","family":"de Miranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Undergraduate Program in Physical Education, Centro Universit\u00e1rio Augusto Motta (UNISUAM), Rio de Janeiro 21041-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulo H.","family":"Marchetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Resistance Training Laboratory, California State University, Northridge, CA 91330, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle Ribeiro","family":"Novaes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Physical Education, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (EEFD\/UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-599, Brazil"},{"name":"Strength Training Laboratory (LABFOR), Physical Education College, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais 3986-3998, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gleisson","family":"da Silva Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Physical Education, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (EEFD\/UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-599, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victor Gon\u00e7alves","family":"Corr\u00eaa Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Undergraduate Program in Physical Education, Est\u00e1cio de S\u00e1 University (UNESA), Rio de Janeiro 27515-010, Brazil"},{"name":"Undergraduate Program in Physical Education, Centro Universit\u00e1rio Gama e Souza (UNIGAMA), Rio de Janeiro 22621-090, Brazil"},{"name":"Undergraduate Program in Physical Education, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 23890-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jefferson","family":"da Silva Novaes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Physical Education, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (EEFD\/UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-599, Brazil"},{"name":"Strength Training Laboratory (LABFOR), Physical Education College, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais 3986-3998, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"American College of Sports Medicine Position Stand (2011).
