Effect of High-intensity Interval Training Combined With DASH Diet on Arterial Stiffness in Hypertensive Patients

Effect of High-intensity Interval Training Combined With DASH Diet on Arterial Stiffness in Hypertensive Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and a major risk factor for morbidity worldwide . It is necessary to reduce the incidence and risk factors of CVD, as physical activity is known to reduce mortality from CVD. Arterial stiffness and hypertension are closely related in pathophysiology. Chronic high blood pressure (BP) can lead to arterial wall damage by mechanical stress, endothelial dysfunction, increased inflammation, oxidative stress, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation. HIIT has been shown to be equally or even better at stimulating health benefits than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and is considered a time-saving aerobic exercise for reducing arterial stiffness in HTN patients

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at whether combining high-intensity interval exercise with a specific heart-healthy eating plan (the DASH diet) can reduce stiffness in the arteries of people with controlled high blood pressure. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 35 and 50 years old (male or female) - You have stage 1 or stage 2 high blood pressure that is being managed (not dangerously high) - You are medically stable and able to give consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your blood pressure is uncontrolled or severely high (above 180/110) - You have kidney problems - You have unstable heart disease - You have severe lung disease that limits your ability to exercise - You have cognitive impairment - You have physical problems with your muscles or joints that prevent exercise Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
