Values: mean ± SE; BP, blood pressure (mmHg); ARV, average real variability (mmHg); Δ: net effect. Intervention: Δ BP and p-value corresponding to the individual differences between control and power training sessions in each sex. Sex: Δ BP and p-value corresponding to the differences between men and women.
