Summary

This feasibility study aims to evaluate the effects of dynamic strength training and isometric strength training on cardiovascular health indicators, mental health, and neuromuscular fitness in older adults with hypertension. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two training modalities and will complete supervised exercise sessions throughout the intervention period. The study will provide preliminary evidence regarding the safety, acceptability, and potential impact of each training modality on health outcomes in this population.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Dynamic Strength Training

The experimental group will perform dynamic strength exercises targeting major muscle groups, progressing in intensity and volume over the 6 weeks. Exercises include 8 major muscle group movements, initially 2 sets of 15 repetitions (Borg 4-6), progressing to 3 sets of 10 repetitions (Borg 5-7) from week 5. Participants will also be advised to perform non-supervised walking 3-5 times per week for \~30 minutes at moderate intensity.

BEHAVIORAL

Isometric Strength Training

The experimental group will perform isometric strength exercises targeting major muscle groups, progressing in intensity and volume over the 6 weeks. Exercises include 8 major muscle group contractions, initially 2 sets of 60 seconds (Borg 4-6), progressing to 3 sets of 40 seconds (Borg 5-7) from week 5. Participants will also be advised to perform non-supervised walking 3-5 times per week for \~30 minutes at moderate intensity.

BEHAVIORAL

No supervised intervention Control

This group serves as a control and will not perform any structured exercise program.
