Introduction: Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a risk factor related to several comorbidities. After a strength training (RT) session, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) may be reduced below baseline values. This phenomenon is known as post-exercise hypotension (PEH). The effects of ST on upper limbs (ULM) and lower limbs (LL) on PEH are not yet fully understood. The abstract should not exceed 250 words and must summarize the work, giving a clear indication of the conclusions contained therein. Objective: To compare the acute effect of a multi-joint RT session in different body segments on BP, in normotensive trained individuals. Methods: The present experimental study had a randomized crossover design. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test and a two-way repeated measures ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni post hoc were performed to determine whether there were significant differences between the experimental groups regarding DBP and SBP at different times. Results: Regarding SBP, both protocols caused a statistically significant reduction during recovery with a greater magnitude of fall caused by the LL session (p<0.05). In DBP, there were no significant changes after the execution of any of the experimental protocols (p>0.05). Conclusion: The multi-joint TF in both body segments provided the acute effect of reducing SBP, over 60 minutes after the end of the training session, with an advantage for the LT in LL, in normotensive trained individuals.
