Background and objective: Post-exercise hypotension, the reduction of blood pressure after a bout exercise, is great clinical relevance. Resistance exercise training considered an important contribution to programs for hypertensive individuals athletes. In this context, post-exercise hypotension could be clinically relevant because it would maintain transiently at lower levels during day-time intervals, when typically its highest levels.
