Comparative Effects of Mild and Moderate Aerobic Exercises on BP, VO2 and HR in Hypertensive Patients
Condition: Hypertension
MeSH terms: Hypertension
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      World Health Organization, when systolic blood pressure is equal to or above 130 mm Hg and/or
      a diastolic blood pressure equal to or above 85 mm Hg , the blood pressure is considered to
      be raised or high is called hypertension." Most people with hypertension have no symptoms at
      all; this is why it is known as the "silent killer".

      More than 1 in 5 adults worldwide had raised blood pressure. There has been studies on
      strength exercise, severe aerobic exercise and other types of exercises and on their effects
      on blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation in other patient populations and on
      healthy individuals as well, but in the patients with hypertension no comparison has been
      made between mild and moderate aerobic exercise (tread mill) yet, stating which one is
      effective. Secondly, already present studies have shown long term effects mostly, not the
      comparative effects of mild and moderate exercises on blood pressure heart rate and oxygen
      saturation of patients with hypertension. These techniques are inexpensive, easy to perform
      and contain no known harmful effect. Hence, current study will undertake this task of finding
      out what are the comparative effects of mild and moderate aerobic on the BP, heart rate and
      oxygen saturation and secondly which technique is more effective. Study design will
      Randomized clinical trial with non-probability convenient sampling.

      It will be single blinded study with blinding of assessor. Sample size was calculated from
      Epitools website and will be 28. There will be two groups which will be randomly assigned 14
      people using lottery method. Data will be collected from community dwelling areas of Lahore
      Patients with hypertension with Systolic Blood Pressure 130 - 159 mmHg and Diastolic Blood
      Pressure 85 - 99 mmHg (pre hypertensive and stage 1), 30 to 50 years of age, patients who
      have taken any antihypertensive medicine in more than 6 hours and both males and females will
      be recruited. Tools will be aneroid sphygmomanometer for measuring blood pressure and pulse
      oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation and heart rate and Post interventional BP, heart
      rate readings and oxygen saturation will be taken for both groups on the same day.

      Post intervention blood pressure, Heart rate and oxygen saturation will be taken after 5
      minutes.
