Summary

Introduction: Adequate blood pressure control is necessary to reduce the risk of mortality from cardiovascular events. The effects of aerobic exercise on systemic arterial hypertension are already well known, however, to date, there is little evidence regarding the effect of an isometric exercise session for the lower limbs on blood pressure levels, especially when performed in elderly hypertensive individuals. Objective: To verify the effect of an isometric or aerobic exercise protocol for the lower limbs on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in elderly hypertensive individuals.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Group control

Group control The control session will consist of keeping the volunteer sitting in a calm, air-conditioned environment for 40 minutes.

OTHER

Isometric Exercise

The intervention with isometric exercise for the lower limbs, the volunteers will start in a vertical position, with shoulders and hips in contact with the wall, feet parallel and shoulder-width apart and hands at the sides of the body. Then (second phase), the volunteers, maintaining contact with the wall, squatted and advanced their feet in the desired position until the knee joint angle reached the previously determined value. The third phase referred directly to the isometric effort of the isometric exercise session. For the isometric wall squat exercise session, volunteers will be asked to perform 4 repetitions of 2 minutes, with a 2-minute rest interval in a seated position for adequate rest between each repetition.

OTHER

Aerobic Exercise

Volunteers will perform 50 minutes of horizontal exercise cycling (brand: pro-user), continuously and at moderate intensity (50% to 60% of HR reserve).
