The effects of weightlifting modality and loading on peak and immediate post systolic and diastolic blood pressure

Thirteen male college students volunteered to participate in this study. All subjects were students at Virginia Tech University and were between the ages of 18 and 34. The subjects were studies to determine their blood pressure responses to two weight lifting movements. Statistical significance was found for all conditions of systolic blood pressure and for peak diastolic blood pressure. It was concluded by the investigator that systolic blood pressure response is positively affected by both the mode of exercise and the loading of the exercise.
