Ten untrained women with T2DM (Age = 56.9 ± 7.4 years; BMI = 27.2 ± 4.2 kg/m2; and Diagnostic time = 10.6 ± 4.1 years) participated in this study. Participants attended a local gym for four non-consecutive days. During the first visit, arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) and predictive values of one maximum repetition (1RM) for knee extension exercise (KE) were assessed. The second, third, and fourth visits were randomly assigned to the following: HL RE (~65% of predicted 1RM in 3 sets of 10 repetitions), LL RE (~20% of predicted 1RM in 3 sets of 15 repetitions), and LL + BFR RE (~20% of predicted 1RM in 3 sets of 15 repetitions; 50% of AOP). HR, SBP e SpO2 were assessed before and immediately after each protocol. All protocols significantly increased the analyzed variables (p ≤ 0.05). There were no significant differences in hemodynamic responses between the protocols (p > 0.05). Therefore, resistance exercise with BFR seems to promote cardiovascular responses similar to traditional low and high load resistance exercise protocols in untrained diabetic women. 2021-02-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c)
