Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of eight weeks of low-intensity endurance training with lower limb blood flow restriction on arterial blood pressure, heart function and serum levels of PGC1-a, Klotho and nitric oxide metabolites in patients with mild hypertension.
Design
interventional study with a control group, parallel groups, and double-blinded in non-specific randomness will be used on 60 patients and three groups of 20 people.
Settings and conduct
60 retired people who have Inclusion criteria and refer to the Center for retirees after completing the consent form and performing the Astrand test are divided into 3 groups. Before the train, blood sampling and echocardiography are performed. training is performed thrice a week for 8 weeks, and blood sampling and echocardiography are performed again 24 hours after training. place of study is Kerman University of Medical Sciences.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: systolic blood pressure 130-150 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure> 80 mmHg, not taking blood pressure-lowering drugs, body mass index less than 30, 50-65 years old Exclusion criteria: secondary hypertension، heart, respiratory, kidney, liver, metabolic and other chronic diseases, and smoking, narcotic and alcohol consumption
Intervention groups
1: Control group without exercise and blood flow restriction 2: The group that performs 8 weeks of low-intensity endurance exercise. 3: The group that performs 8 weeks of low-intensity endurance exercise with blood flow restriction.
Main outcome variables
PGC1α; Klotho; serum nitrite; blood pressure ; BMI; respiratory exchange ratio; ventilation ratio; PaCO2; PaO2; Echocardiographic parameters

Treatment - Other

2

Description
Intervention group: a group that rides a stationary bicycle 3 times a week, every other day, and each session is 45 minutes maximum for 8 weeks, with 50% of VO2paek, while the upper part of the thigh is closed with a cuff, blood flow restriction through closing The cuff will be applied in the proximal part of the thighs. The complete femoral artery occlusion pressure will be estimated through the following formula. Lower body arterial occlusion (mmHg) = (5.893 × thigh circumference) + (0.912 × systolic blood pressure) + (0.734 × diastolic blood pressure) 220.046 The cuff pressure in the exercises in the first and second weeks will be calculated and applied as 50% of the complete occlusion pressure (AOP).
