Study Arms (2)

Hypertensive group

OTHER

The Mat Pilates session was held lasting 50 minutes of exercises with the first 5 minutes heating and in each exercise performing 10 repetitions with 45 seconds of rest between one exercise and another. For practice, are used only mats, and alternative devices such as the Swiss ball and the flexible ring, as well as body weight and the force of gravity as resistance factors and Borg's subjective perception of effort scale for intensity parameters. The 20 exercises were chosen through the classic exercises thus classified by the creator of the Joseph Pilates method.During the sessions, volunteers were instructed on correct breathing without performing the valsalva maneuver.

Other: Hypertensive group

Model Details: * Group 1 - Hypertensive: Composed of hypertensive women who participated in a training program with Pilates exercises in the soil associated to the daily antihypertensive of each one. * Group 2 - Normotensives: Composed of normotensive women who participated in a training program with solo Pilates exercises without antihypertensive presence. Both groups underwent 12 weeks of Pilates training.
