Rest Interval Impact on Systolic Pressure Response during Resistance Exercise

Abstract

Resistance exercise is known to influence cardiovascular responses, with Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) being a key indicator of cardiovascular strain. Traditional training protocols often emphasize specific rest intervals between sets to optimize performance and recovery. However, the impact of different rest intervals on the systolic pressure response during resistance exercise remains underexplored. This study investigates the effect of rest interval duration on the V-shape systolic pressure response, which is typically observed with conventional rest periods. We compared the systolic pressure responses during resistance exercise with short versus extended rest intervals to determine if the V-shape response is maintained or diminished. Our findings indicate that extended rest intervals do not preserve the traditional V-shape SBP response observed with shorter intervals, suggesting that rest interval length may play a significant role in cardiovascular adaptations to resistance training. These insights could inform training protocols and cardiovascular risk assessments for individuals engaging in resistance exercise.
