Effect of Resistance Training

1. Improved muscle strength and tone
2. Weight management and body composition
3. Prevention of diseases
4. Lowers blood pressure, lowers heart rate, improves metabolism and
lipoprotein adaptation
5. Bone tissue adaptation

Effect of Aerobic Training

1. Blood pressure drops, improves metabolism and V02 max
2. Faster recovery
3. Uses aerobic system and fueled by fats (left ventricle)
4. Do it more times than HIIT
5. Beginner friendly
6. Enhances the ability to relax, focus and recover from stress
 7. prevention of diseases

Findings from Research

A study was done that assessed post-exercise changes in 12 young
normotensive subjects performing 45 minutes of exercise at 30, 50, and 80%
VO2peak and rested for 45 minutes.
Findings: Intensities of the exercise did not influence the magnitude of
post-exercise hypotension, (PEH) however, the exercise done at 30%
VO2peak decreased the rate pressure product, (RP = HR x systolic BP)
50% had no effect, and 80% had a significant increase.
The mechanism behind PEH is primarily a reduction in sympathetic nerve
activity to the cardiovascular system during the recovery period.
