Summary

Hypertension is leading yet preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality worldwide. Prehypertension identifies those at high risk of developing HTN, prompting intervention to prevent or delay the onset of the disease. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a time efficient mode of training with established benefits, while Isometric wall squats (IWS) also provide a range of proven benefits and advantages, but their combined effect on BP measures is yet to be determined.Hence the objective of this study is to compare the effects of isometric wall squats along with high intensity interval training versus high intensity interval training alone on rate pressure product, SBP and DBP, heart rate and anthropometric measures in normotensive and pre-hypertensive sedentary adults

Conditions

  • Pre Hypertension

Interventions

PROCEDURE

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

High intensity interval training on treadmill with moderate intensity (40-60%HRR) in week 1 to achieve the baseline fitness level and from week 2 to 5 they will progress to high intensity with setting the lower target HR 40-60%HRR and upper target HR 80-85%HRR with 1:4 work to rest ratio followed by 5-7 min of cool-down period..A total of 15 sessions of high intensity interval training alone , for thrice a week on alternative days for 5 consecutive weeks will be given. Warm-up session consisting of stretching exercises prior to intervention and cool down session after intervention will also be done and vitals before and after the session will be taken.

PROCEDURE

Isometric Wall Squat

For isometric wall squat, each training session will be composed of 4 × 2-min bouts of IWS followed by 2-min rest periods. In first week, participants will do squat training or there will be a protocol for selecting exercise intensity in which participants will be given 30-s to perform a wall squat to select a position that they predict would elicit an target RPE score by varying the squat height. Based on the final squat height and RPE score, after bout 4, participants will be given a starting squat height for training session 1 and will then be progressed in each week
