Study aim
-
The effect of 12 weeks of aerobic and resistance exercise on hemodynamic, biochemical and functional factors in women with hypertension
-
Design
-
A randomized clinical trial study, single-blind, Parallel, 45 participants randomized to 2 intervention groups and a control group through web-based randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Participants were equally divided into three groups: aerobic, isometric, handgrip and control. This is a blind study that evaluators are about blind intervention. This study is performed in Alzahra Cardiovascular Hospital in Shiraz. Individuals in each group perform the exercise in 3 session for 12 weeks. In order to measure the effects of exercise on the hemodynamic, biochemical and function factors of women with hypertension are measured before and after 12 weeks.
