Abstract
In brief: This study examined the effect of high-intensity anaerobic training on resting blood pressure and a variety of other physiological, performance, and psychological variables in eight adult male competitive cyclists who trained five days a week for eight weeks in two training programs. Resting systolic blood pressure was significantly elevated in both training programs, and no differences were found in resting diastolic blood were found in resting diastolic blood pressure or body weight. Significant training effects were found in both programs for V o2, max, resting heart rate, and maximal performance on a bicycle ergometer test. A significant increase in psychic fatigue was observed in response to anaerobic training.
