ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the acute effect of resistance exercise on ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) in healthy individuals. Methods: The recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were used. Searches were conducted in the databases: Medline, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus. Studies that assessed OPP before and after physical exercise were included. The risk of bias was analyzed by the Quality Assessment Tool for Before-After (Pre-Post) Studies with No Control Group. Random effect […]

Abstract Purpose: To verify the influence of two different intensities and volumes of resistance training on intraocular pressur. Method: Nineteen athletes boxers (13 male and 6 female; mean age of 22 ± 3 years) were randomly assigned to two different resistance exercise sessions: muscular endurance with 3 sets of 15 repetition maximum and muscular hypertrophy with 4 sets of 8 RM. The intraocular pressure was measured with a Perkins tonometer before, during and after the resistance exercise sessions. Data were […]
