Abstract

Background and purpose

Despite all efforts to treat hypertension, it is still responsible for 10.8 million deaths annually. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of continuous moderate-intensity training, strength training combined with continuous moderate-intensity training and strength training combined with high-intensity interval training in adults with high blood pressure.

Methods

A 12-week randomized control trial was performed. A total of 100 volunteers, 51 women and 49 men with hypertension participated. The sample was randomly assigned into three intervention groups and one control group.

Results

All intervention groups significantly improved their hemodynamic parameters, body composition, lipid profile, glucose, and physical fitness as compared to the control group. Both combined training groups showed greater improvements than the moderate-intensity continuous training group. However, the strength group combined with the moderate-intensity continuous group showed the greatest benefits in systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, of −13.4 mmHg, −6.8 mmHg and −8.9 mmHg respectively, abdominal circumference, upper and lower limb strength and VO₂peak, versus the continuous moderate-intensity group; it also achieved greater reductions in systolic and mean blood pressure, up to −6.8 mmHg and 4.3 mmHg respectively, than the strength group combined with the high intensity interval group.

Conclusion

Performing a strength training program combined with continuous moderate intensity training, 2 days per week for 12 weeks, produces significant improvements in cardiometabolic biomarkers, body composition, and physical condition of adults with hypertension, with these adaptations being superior to those produced by continuous moderate-intensity training and strength training combined with high-intensity intervallic training.

期刊介绍： Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice is an internationally refereed journal published to meet the broad ranging needs of the healthcare profession in the effective and professional integration of complementary therapies within clinical practice. Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice aims to provide rigorous peer reviewed papers addressing research, implementation of complementary therapies (CTs) in the clinical setting, legal and ethical concerns, evaluative accounts of therapy in practice, philosophical analysis of emergent social trends in CTs, excellence in clinical judgement, best practice, problem management, therapy information, policy development and management of change in order to promote safe and efficacious clinical practice. Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice welcomes and considers accounts of reflective practice.
