INTRODUCTION: Hypertension could impaire the quality of life (QOL) and healthrelated quality of life (HRQOL). Aerobic and resistance training improve cardiovascular performance, but there is little evidence regarding the effects related to QOL, HRQOL and functional capacity in hypertensive women. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of aerobic and resistance training on QOL and functional capacity in hypertensive women. METHODS: Randomized clinical trial conducted at Hypertension League Federal University of Goias - Brazil. Sample: hypertensive women, 50 years, non-participants in exercise programs, satisfactory treadmill test (Bruce protocol) and with a minimum 6- month treatment at service. Subdivided: aerobic group (GA) (n=21) and resistance group (GR) (n=20). Interventions: 2 months (2x/week) of aerobic exercise and resistance training. Intensity of aerobic group: light to moderate (4 to 7 of adjusted Borg Scale). Resistance: up to 60% of 1 RM Test. Two series of 12 to 15 repetitions. Before and after the intervention was applied WHOQOL-bref to evaluate QOL, the SF-36 for HRQOL and 6-minute walk test (6`WT) to measure the functional capacity. Statistical: student`s-t, Fisher, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square and Wilcoxon tests. Level of significance: p <0.05. RESULTS: Initially the groups were homogeneous regarding clinical, anthropometric, sociodemographic and WT6’ (p 0.05). The groups were also homogeneous in WHOQOL-bref scores except on the psychological and social relationships domains, and the GR had higher scores on these. On SF-36, the groups were different at the beginning only at physical function domain, and the GA presented higher score in this domain. After intervention, there was a significant improvement in all WHOQOL-bref domains in GA and at GR the improvement ocurred only in physical health domain. Regarding SF-36 there was a significant improvement in 7 of 8 domains at GA (exception for mental health). At GR, were observed similar results. There were no changes in weight, body mass index, waist circunference, blood pressure and heart rate after the intervention. (p 0.05). There was an increase at functional capacity (longer distance on 6`WT - p 0.001) in both groups. CONCLUSION: The two types of physical exercise, promoted beneficial effects in different magnitudes in QOL, similar in HRQOL and functional capacity. These results suggest that, according the focus and objectives established, both exercises can be effective as a treatment strategy in search of better QOL in hypertensive woman.
