Abstract
Background: Physical training (ET) is important to restore the reflex sensitivity involved in controlling blood pressure in various diseases. Recent investigations have demonstrated an interaction between cardiopulmonar baroreceptors and arterial baroreflex during dynamic exercise.Objective: Considering that acute and chronic hemodynamic responses to swimming (SW) are different from the race (RUN), the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of SW and RUN on baroreflex response before and after acute volume expansion in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).Methods: SHR were divided into three groups: RUN, SW and sedentary (SED) groups. After training, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded. Baroreflex response was assessed before and after acute volume expansion.Results: Both ET conditions reduced basal levels of HR and MAP. The first volume of injected isotonic saline solution (1.25% of body weight) produced a greater decrease in HR for the SW group (−105.8 ± 8.7 bpm) compared to RUN groups (−68 ± 5.2 bpm) and SED(−49.8 ± 7.2 bpm). Both training modalities increase the baroreflex response in relation to the SED group, but after the total volume expansion, the SW group presented attenuated response (0.7 ± 0.1 μPIms/mmHg) compared to RUN (1.5 ± 0.17 PIms/mmHg) and was not different from SED group (0.8 ± 0.2 mPIms/mmHg). Conclusion: The results show that the swim-trained group has a different baroreflex response to that observed by the run-trained group after the activation of the load receptors by saline expansion.
