5.4 EFFECT OF ACUTE RESISTANCE EXERCISE ON ARTERIAL HEMODYNAMICS AND CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW DYNAMICS: DOES SEX MATTER?

High-intensity resistance exercise (RE) acutely increases arterial stiffness and blood pressure (BP), coupled with reduced cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) and greater flow pulsatility in the cerebral circulation, which may be detrimental to cerebral microvasculature. Because females have differe...

description High-intensity resistance exercise (RE) acutely increases arterial stiffness and blood pressure (BP), coupled with reduced cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) and greater flow pulsatility in the cerebral circulation, which may be detrimental to cerebral microvasculature. Because females have different CV control mechanisms, it is important to assess potential sex differences in cerebrovascular responses to acute RE. Purpose: To examine the effect of sex on hemodynamics and cerebral vasculature following acute RE. Methods: Men (n = 18, 27 yrs, BMI = 24.2) and women (n = 14, 25 yrs, BMI = 23.8) performed RE (3 × 10, isokinetic knee flexion/extension). Measurements were obtained at baseline and post-exercise (1, 5, 30-minute). Beat-to-beat heart rate (HR), brachial BP, cardiac output (CO), stroke volume and end-tidal CO2 were collected. CBFv was measured by transcranial Doppler, carotid BP by applanation tonometry and central pulse wave velocity (PWV) by an automated ambulatory BP monitor. Results: Table 1. CBFv pulsatility increased following RE at 1-minute post (p < 0.05) in men and was elevated above baseline 5-minute post-exercise (p < 0.05) in both groups (Figure 1). Mean CBFv increased 1-min post-exercise and decreased below baseline 5-minute post-exercise (p < 0.05) in both sexes. PWV increased 1-minute post-exercise (p < 0.05) in both groups.

Conclusion: Men increased CBFv pulsatility at 1-minute post-RE compared to women, demonstrating a sex difference in cerebral vascular reactivity. RE increased central arterial stiffness, mean CBFv, HR, and BP similarly for both sexes. CO was also elevated at 5-minute, but CBFv dropped below baseline and pulsatility continued to rise above baseline. This temporary disruption in cerebral autoregulation may impact brain health in both sexes.
