 Intervention: The resistance exercise intensities were defined based on previous studies. These studies found that both low intensity 40 one maximum repetition and high intensity 80 one maximum repetition resistance exercise sessions promoted positive blood pressure responses at periods subsequent to their execution in normotensive individuals. The low intensity and high intensity resistance exercise and control sessions lasted 40 minutes each. For sessions with resistance exercise, three circuits with 7 exercises each were performed in the same sequence of the one maximum repetition test. For low intensity and high intensity, 16 and 8 repetitions were performed for each exercise, with an interval of 60 and 90 seconds between exercises, respectively, and 120 seconds between circuits. The duration of repetition in the exercises, both at low intensity and high intensity, was 3 seconds - 1 second in the concentric phase and 2 seconds in the eccentric phase of the movement. In the control session, the participants remained seated in a comfortable chair in the same environment of the resistance exercise sessions.
