Resumen
[EN] The present study aimed to verify if blood pressure (BP) reactivity could be reduced
through a previous single session of active playing when compared to sedentary leisure.
Sixteen pre-pubertal healthy children participated in this study. After familiarization with
procedures and anthropometric evaluation, participants performed three sessions in
randomized order: (1) 30 min of traditional Brazilian games (PLAY); (2) 30 min of video
game playing (DDR); and (3) 30 min of watching TV (TV). Each session lasted 80 min, being
10 min of rest; 30 min of intervention activity; and 40 min of recovery. After recovery, the
Cold Pressor Test (CPT) was used for the assessment of acute cardiovascular reactivity. BP
was recorded at 30 s and 1 min during the CPT. Analysis of variance showed post-exercise
hypotension (PEH) only after PLAY, and that systolic and diastolic BP were significantly
increased in all conditions during CPT. However, the magnitude of the CPT-induced BP
response was significantly less in PLAY compared to DDR and TV. The PEH observed
during recovery and the reduced BP response to CPT following playing traditional games
may be due its higher cardiovascular and metabolic demand as was indicated by the
increased heart rate, oxygen consumption, and BP. It was concluded that BP reactivity
to stress may be reduced through a previous single session of traditional games and that
PEH was recorded only after this exercise form. This benefit indicates a potential role of
playing strategies for cardiovascular health in childhood.
