Objective To verify the variation in IOP in the resistance exercise performed in the sitting and supine. Methods A 14 volunteers of the Center for Physical Activities of the Sorocaba Eye Bank (BOS Fit). Exclusion criteria were adopted: I) media opacity; II) change in volume of the eyeball or no eyeball; III) IOP greater than 21mmHg; IV) age 20 and over 40; V) time practice of resistance training less than 30 days. Initially the test was performed to predict the […]

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 […]
