Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) is the main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and can be maintained with regular physical exercise, like the Pilates Method (MP), resistance training that uses one's own body mass and/or equipment. However, little is known about the effects of PM on hemodynamic responses, especially in the elderly. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the effect of 24 weeks of training with MP on the BP of hypertensive (GH, n=10) and normotensive (GN, n=7) elderly women classified according to medical opinion and the Self-Reported Morbidity Questionnaire. BP measurement was performed in three moments: 1) sessions 1,2,3 (pre-intervention); 2) sessions 20, 21, 22 (intra intervention); 3) sessions 42, 43, 44 (post-intervention), considering the average of each moment. There was no significant difference between the groups, but there were significant reductions in both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. We can suggest that MP provides BP reduction in hypertensive and normotensive elderly women and can be an important tool in the management of cardiovascular diseases.
