| Summary: | Aim. To assess the effects of the multiple-set resistance exercise on the functional status of patients with Stage II essential arterial hypertension (EAH). Material and methods. In total, 40 patients with Stage II EAH, aged 45-55 years, took part in the physical rehabilitation programme, including exercise training on the resistance exercise machine. In the control group, weight lifting was followed by the complete relaxation of involved muscle groups and, therefore, a fast weight lowering. In the main group, the muscle relaxation after weight lifting was only partial, with a slower weight lowering, which resulted in increased lactate production and muscle ache. Ergospirometry, volumetric compression oscillometry, and resistance tests were used. Results. Blood pressure normalization, myocardial contractility increase, and exercise capacity improvement were more pronounced in the main group (p<0,05), as a greater extent of neuromuscular strain stimulates the hormone production both during and after the exercise session. Conclusion. The complex multiple-set resistance exercise programme demonstrated a marked beneficial effect in patients with Stage II EAH. |
