Resumen
Artículo de publicación ISI We assessed the intraocular pressure (IOP) behaviour during a 1-minute period of isometric physical
effort and the immediate 1-minute of recovery in the mid-thigh clean pull and squat exercises at three
different intensities. Twenty physically active individuals performed the isometric mid-thigh clean pull
and squat exercises at three intensities (0% [low-intensity], 25% [medium-intensity] and 50% [highintensity] of the maximum isometric force). IOP was semi-continuously measured by rebound tonometry. There was a statistically significant effect of exercise intensity on IOP (p < 0.001, ƞp² = 0.416),
observing that IOP increments were positively associated with exercise intensity. The mid-thigh clean
pull and squat exercises did not demonstrate differences (p = 0.510), and also, no differences were
observed between men and women (p = 0.683). The IOP changes during the isometric physical effort
showed a positive linear behaviour in all conditions (r = 0.70 to 0.96). IOP returned to baseline levels
after 8 seconds of recovery. Our data showed a progressive and instantaneous IOP increment during
isometric exercise, which was positively associated with exercise intensity. IOP changes were independent on the type of exercise and participant´s sex. After exercise, IOP rapidly (≈ 8 seconds) returned to
baseline levels.
