Summary
This study looked at how two different ways of doing resistance exercise (short vs long sets) affect the heart and blood vessels of postmenopausal women, both with and without high blood pressure. Sixty women participated, and researchers measured things like blood pressure, heart rate variability, and artery stiffness. The goal was to find which exercise setup is safer and more beneficial for this group.
