Acute Effects of Handgrip on Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Adults

Summary

The effect of handgrip training on blood pressure reduction has been demonstrated in several studies. However, acutely, there is still divergence regarding the effects of isometric handgrip exercise on blood pressure responses, especially when it is performed at different times of the day. It is suggested that the magnitude of blood pressure reduction after a single exercise session is able to predict long-term blood pressure behavior. Thus, understanding the effects of isometric handgrip exercise, performed at different times of the day, on blood pressure in adult hypertensive individuals acutely may help to understand the effects of this type of exercise chronically.

Conditions

OTHER

Acute effects of handgrip exercise

The participants will be randomized into three sessions, handgrip exercise in the morning, handgrip exercise in the afternoon, and control performed in the morning to analyze the acute effects of handgrip exercise on blood pressure and vascular function at different times of the day. After the morning sessions, ambulatory blood pressure will also be measured for 24 hours.
