Occlusive strength training is shown like an alternative to intensive training. Present study shown cardiovascular responses to this training. 10 subjects were subjected to two occlusion training protocols, differentiated by the weight lifted (30 % of maximum weight lifted, post30, and 70 % of maximum weight lifted, post70). The values of arterial systolic tension (TAS), diastolic (TAD) and heart rate (FC) were recorded. The results showing a significant decline in TAS and TAD after post30 of 7 and 13 mm Hg respectively from basis values (p0.005). Heart rate (FC) values do not change from the basal value by any protocol (p>0.05). Trivial effect size (ES<0.25) were observed for all groups. In conclusion, results from present study shown a significant reduction in TAS and TAD in occlusive training protocols, resulting in more pronounced when is applied the greatest intensity of training. Further studies are needed to examine the behaviour of cardiovascular parameters after occlusive strength training.
