Study aim
-
Investigating and comparing the effect of different protocols of intense interval exercise on post-exercise hypotension and heart rate variability during and after exercise in hypertensive patients
-
Design
-
Cross-over ,12 participating, 4 sessions , randomly and with a one-week washout.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Subjects will visit the laboratory of Shahid Beheshti University between 8 -11 am. After measuring heart rate variability and blood pressure, they will perform one of the four protocol, and after completing exercise 1-hour recovery measurements will continued
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
12 person with evaluated blood pressure (systolic blood pressure between 120 and 140 mmhg and diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 120 mmhg) in the age range between 35 - 60 years will participate in the research through notification and voluntarily. Exclusion criteria from the study included uncontrolled blood pressure (systolic blood pressure above 160 and diastolic blood pressure above 120 mmHg), history of cardiovascular disease, smoking, participating in vigorous activities more than once a week
-
Intervention groups
-
High volume low intensity session, participants will do4*4 minute 70% of peak oxygen consumption, each of them is separated by 3 minutes recovery.
Low volume high intensity session, participants will perform 10 *1 minute bouts with 90% of peak oxygen consumption, each of them separated by a minute recovery.
Sie session, after 5 minutes of warm-up, the participants will perform8*15 second Allout, with 1 min recovery
control session, no physical activity will be performed.
