Summary

International recommendations advocate dynamic or isometric strength training as an adjunct to aerobic exercise. Due to a lack of consensus, this research addresses the acute effects of isometric exercises by handgrip or lower limb isometry as a hypotensive strategy in hypertensive adults.

Conditions

  • Arterial Hypertension

Interventions

OTHER

isometric handgrip exercise

Isometric session with handgrip: 4 sets of 2 minutes of contractions sustained at 30% of CVM, for each arm. The time between sets and between arms will be 1 minute rest.

OTHER

isometric of the lower limbs

Isometric session for lower limbs: 4 sets with 2 minutes of contractions sustained at 30% of 1RM. The rest interval will be 1 minute rest.
