A CROSSFIT SANTA CRUZ STUDY
"All studies that I have found on post-exercise hypotension are based on “medium intensity” workouts. At CrossFit Santa Cruz we thought it would be of interest to look at the BP after an intense workout. A group of very fit men and women volunteered to have BP measurements before and after a typically intense anaerobic/aerobic workout.
In this study we were comparing BPs in our athletes to published data of 5-10 mm Hg reduction in BP after moderate intensity exercise. Over the two days of CrossFit workouts, we found 6-29 mm Hg reduction in post-workout BP in ¾ of the group.
