The elevated blood pressure (BP) and lower cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM) are associated with higher morbidity mortality risk among older adults. Although exercise is an important intervention for cardiovascular promotion, it unclear whether combat sports training could benefit outcomes as much in this population. This study compared the effects of 12 weeks Muay Thai (MT) against functional (FT) on CAM hemodynamic parameters
