Effects of Multicomponent Training Versus Cardiovascular Training as a Treatment for Hypertension in Adult Subjects

Summary

Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor and the third leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for an increase in cardiac events. International guidelines on cardiology and hypertension recommend the practice of regular physical exercise for the control and treatment of this disease. The main objective of the study will be to determine the effect of a Multicomponent Training programme versus a Cardiovascular Training programme on blood pressure levels in hypertensive adults. The work methodology will consist of a controlled, randomised, longitudinal and prospective clinical trial, with several simultaneous study branches; on the one hand, the interventions with Multicomponent Training; on the other hand, the interventions with Cardiovascular Training; and, finally, a control group. The sample will be composed of 75 adult hypertensive subjects, including men and women, divided into groups of 25 people, two intervention groups and one control group. The inclusion criteria will be adult subjects, aged 40-65 years, with controlled arterial hypertension and sedentary. Exclusion criteria will be pregnant women and hypertensive patients with serious diseases that prevent the safe practice of physical exercise. The intervention will last 12 weeks and training will be 2 days per week, 60 minutes per session. The variables of the pre-post intervention study will be haemodynamic parameters; body composition, abdominal perimeter, general and manual strength, cardiorespiratory capacity, lipid profile and glucose.

Interventions

OTHER

Multi-component training

The multicomponent training group will perform 60 minutes of training per session: * 10 minutes of joint mobility exercises and dynamic stretching. * 20 minutes of strength work with 2 exercises; the first, bench press, at an intensity of 50% of your 1RM. The number of repetitions will be individualised for each subject by testing the loss of speed in the series with respect to the first repetition (15% loss); the second, the squat, at an intensity of 60% of your 1RM. The number of repetitions shall be individualised for each subject by means of the loss of speed test in the series with respect to the first repetition (10% loss). The rest between sets will be 3 minutes. * 20 minutes of continuous cardiovascular work. The intensity will be increased every 4 weeks, from week 1 to 4 between 55%-65%FCR or VO2peak, from week 5 to 8 between 65%-%75%FCR or VO2peak and from week 9 to 12 between 75%-%85%FCR or VO2peak. * 10 minutes of cool down and static stretching.

OTHER

Continuous Cardiovascular Training

The Continuous Cardiovascular Training group will perform 60 minutes of training per session distributed as follows: Preparatory Phase: 10 minutes of standardised warm-up with joint mobility exercises and dynamic stretching. Main Training Phase: In this phase we will work 40 minutes of continuous aerobic exercise, maintaining the same intensity range throughout the session. We will increase the intensity every 4 weeks, from 1 to 4 you will work between 55%-65%FCR or VO2peak, from 5 to 8 between 65%-%75%FCR or VO2peak and from 9 to 12 between 75%-%85%FCR or VO2peak. Post-training phase: 10' cool down and static stretching.
