Hemodynamic Response During Different Modalities of Resistance Training in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the hemodynamic responses (heart rate and systolic blood pressure) during different modalities of resistance training in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The findings indicated that resistance training is safe and consistently increases heart rate and systolic blood pressure, regardless of the training modality, although no statistically significant differences were found between low-intensity longer-duration and high-intensity shorter-duration training. Overall, the study highlights the need for further research to better understand the acute hemodynamic responses to resistance training in this patient population.
