Acute Effects of Mat Pilates on Blood Pressure Response to Mental Stress in Higher Education Teachers
Sponsor: Federal University of Mato Grosso
Summary
This study will investigate the acute effects of a moderate-intensity Mat Pilates session on blood pressure responses to mental stress in higher education teachers. Participants will complete two experimental sessions: a control session without exercise and a Mat Pilates session. The intensity of the Mat Pilates session will be controlled using the Rating of Perceived Exertion scale, targeting 12-14 points on the Borg scale. The order of the experimental sessions will be randomized. We will assess blood pressure and heart rate at rest and during a mental stress test performed before and 30 minutes after each session. The two sessions will be separated by 48-72 hours.

Conditions
Interventions
Acute Exercise
Participants will perform a 40-minute Mat Pilates session at moderate intensity. Exercise intensity will be controlled using the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale, targeting 12-14 points. Blood pressure and heart rate will be assessed at rest and during the Stroop Color Test, performed before and 30 minutes after the exercise session.
Control
Participants will undergo a control session without physical exercise. Blood pressure and heart rate will be assessed at rest and during the Stroop Color Test, performed before and 30 minutes after the control session.
