Effect of Aerobic Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction on Post-exercise Hypotension in Young Adults: the Role of Histamine Receptors

October 3, 2024 updated by: Jong-Kyung Kim, California Baptist University
It was hypothesized that aerobic exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) induced post exercise hypotension (PEH), and the reduction in blood pressure (BP) was due to peripheral vasodilation via the histamine receptors. Ten male participants participated in this study. The participants were randomly assigned to walk for 10 minutes at 6.4 k/m, 0% grade with or without BFR after taking histamine receptor blockade. Following exercise, BP was measured at 10 min interval for 60 minutes. Heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were evaluated.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Experimental: BFR exercise with histamine blockade
Subjects ingested fexofenadine (540 mg, tablet) at least 50 minutes before and famotidine (40 mg, tablet) 1 hour 50 minutes before the onset of each protocol because these dose of oral fexofenadine and famotidine reaches its peak concentration at around 1 h and 2 h, respectively
Sham Comparator: Sham Comparator: BFR exercise without histamine blockade
Subjects ingested fexofenadine (540 mg, tablet) at least 50 minutes before and famotidine (40 mg, tablet) 1 hour 50 minutes before the onset of each protocol because these dose of oral fexofenadine and famotidine reaches its peak concentration at around 1 h and 2 h, respectively
