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
