Summary

The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of isometric handgrip training (IHT) on blood pressure of hypertensive patients with peripheral arterial disease. Will be recruited 60 patients which will be randomized into 2 groups (30 per group), IHT and control group (CG). IHT group will training isometric contraction for 8 weeks. The GC patients will be encouraged to increase the level of physical activity. In the pre and post-intervention, brachial and central blood pressure will be measured.

Isometric Handgrip Training Group

Intervention period will last eight weeks. Experimental group will perform three sessions per week of home-based handgrip exercise. The exercise protocol will consist of four unilateral sets (dominant arm) with two minutes of isometric contraction, with 30% of maximum voluntary contraction, and four minutes of interval between sets. Patients will receive a diary to record the sessions and report difficulties during the training. Visits will be scheduled at weeks 1 and 5 to provide feedback to individuals, discuss possible problems during the training and adjust the intensity of the exercise. In addition the patients be recommended to increase daily physical activity levels, and weekly, there will be phone contacts with the patients to reinforce the exercise recommendations.

OTHER

Control Group

Intervention period will last eight weeks. Patients will be recommended to increase daily physical activity levels, and weekly, there will be phone contacts to reinforce the recommendations.
