About this study

Official title: Analysis of Heart Rate Variability After One Session of Aerobic or Resistance Physical Exercise in Controlled Hypertensive Individuals: Randomized Clinical Trial

Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a multifactorial clinical condition, characterized by sustained elevation of blood pressure levels, contributing to 50% of deaths from cardiovascular disease. The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) plays a fundamental role in the regulation of Blood Pressure (BP) and is closely associated with Heart Rate (HR). HR changes are called Heart Rate Variability (HRV). In individuals with SAH, HRV indices are reduced compared to normotensive individuals, showing changes in autonomic modulation, thus increasing the risk for cardiovascular events. The objective of this study will be to analyze the Heart Rate Variability in individuals with controlled SAH after a session of aerobic (EA) or resistance (RE) physical exercise.

Read the detailed description

Controlled hypertensive individuals aged between 30 and 59 years will be selected, for convenience, who use the services of the Instituto de Cardiologia do Rio Grande do Sul. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to an EA session (40 minutes on cycle ergometer, 60% of heart rate reserve) or RE (2 exercises for lower limbs and 2 for upper limbs with 4 sets of 12 repetitions at 60% 1-RM) or control group without exercise. HRV data will be collected by ECG (Wincardio USB - Version 11.1.0.0, MICROMED Biotecnologia Ltda, Brasília - DF - Brazil) during 10 minutes before the exercise session, 10 minutes after the exercise session, 1h and 2h post-session . It is expected to estimate results that may demonstrate clarifications about the impact of a physical exercise session on HRV in controlled hypertensive individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aerobic Exercise. 1 session of acute exercise, Resistance Exercise. 1 session of acute exercise and no exercise in people with Hypertension, run by Instituto de Cardiologia do Rio Grande do Sul at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Heart Rate Variability. (time frame: 4 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2025.
