Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between the acute blood pressure (BP) response to a single session of dynamic or isometric resistance exercise and the chronic adaptations resulting from training in these modalities. Methods: This is a systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted, searching the PubMed, Cochrane Central, SPORTDiscus, and LILACS databases. Studies involving adults engaged in dynamic or isometric resistance training, with assessments of BP before the intervention (baseline), during or immediately after a resistance exercise session (acute response), and after the intervention (post-intervention - baseline: chronic effect) were included. A total of 13 studies were included in the review. The main outcome measured was blood pressure values during or after the interventions. Results: Studies were also required to provide correlation data (r-value) between the acute response and the chronic effect on BP. Thirteen studies were included in this review. A significant correlation was found between the acute response during isometric resistance exercise and the chronic effect for systolic BP (r = -0.591), but not for diastolic BP (r = 0.044). Similarly, a significant correlation was observed between the acute response after a single session of dynamic resistance training and the chronic effect for both systolic BP (r = 0.599) and diastolic BP (r = 0.571). Conclusion: Thus, the study concludes that the acute systolic BP response during isometric exercise and the hypotensive effect following a single session of dynamic resistance exercise are related to the chronic reduction in blood pressure resulting from training in these modalities. These findings highlight the importance of considering acute BP response as a potential predictor of long-term adaptations.
