Summary

Objective: analyze the effects of isometric handgrip exercise on arterial pressure and on the autonomic cardiac modulation of hypertensive individuals treated in the Unified Health System (UHS).

Intervention: Patients were randomized into Supervised group (SG) and control group (CG). SG will perform supervised isometric handgrip exercise for three weekly sessions in four sets with two minutes of isometric contraction with 30% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), In CG, individuals will be encouraged to increase their level of physical activity.

Measurements: Blood pressure, autonomic modulation
