Temporal response of systolic and diastolic blood pressure during concentric and eccentric type of interval exercise. Line graph with whiskers indicating mean values ± SE for diastolic blood pressure (A,B) and systolic blood pressure (C,D) as measured each 2 min during the interval-type pedaling exercise before and after the eight weeks of training under the concentric (A,C) or eccentric (B,D) contraction group. *, p < 0.05 vs. 0 min. ‡, p < 0.05 vs. concentric. $ p < 0.05 vs. pre. Repeated-measures ANOVA with a post-hoc test of least significant difference.
