There was no significant change in diastolic blood pressure after 8 weeks of resistance training in both groups.
Practitioners should note that while systolic BP decreases, diastolic BP may not be affected by resistance training in this population.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
There was no change for diastolic BP in the posttest in both groups.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
