About this study

The research aims to compare two different exercise approaches applied to hypertensive individuals. After completion of the research, it will be revealed which exercise approach is more effective on the parameters evaluated in hypertensive individuals. In this context, it is aimed to increase the use of the exercise approach, which is found to be more effective in hypertensive individuals, in the treatment program.

Read the detailed description

Exercise is an important lifestyle change in treating and controlling hypertension. The International Society of Hypertension recommends increasing physical activity in the long term as a lifestyle intervention to improve blood pressure control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in hypertensive individuals. Regular exercise appears to reduce drug use as part of lifestyle change in the treatment of hypertension. The risk of developing hypertension in individuals with a sedentary lifestyle is higher than in individuals who engage in regular physical activity.

In addition, new exercise programs such as mat pilates exercises are also applied to hypertensive individuals. Mat pilates exercises are a resistance exercise method used worldwide, especially for middle-aged individuals who do not engage in regular physical activity. In addition, Mat pilates exercises have promising effects, reducing short-term systolic blood pressure by 7.4 mmHg and long-term resting systolic blood pressure by 5.8-7.6 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 3.3-3.6 mmHg. These data require further research on the use of mat pilates exercises in hypertensive individuals.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aerobic ExerciseOther

    Individuals in this group will perform aerobic exercise training on a treadmill/bicycle under the supervision of a physiotherapist for a period of 8 weeks, consisting of a total of 24 training sessions. Moderate intensity aerobic exercise training will be set by calculating the target heart rate range. During the training session, individuals will receive a total of 50 minutes of training, consisting of a 10-minute warm-up, 30 minutes of moderate walking/cycling and a 10-minute cool-down period. In addition to the aerobic exercise training group, on the days he does not come to the session, resistance exercises will be taught in the form of 2 sets of 8 repetitions, with weights of 60-80% of 1 maximum repetition, according to the guidelines of the American Sports Medicine Association, and will be given as home exercises.

  • Mat Pilates ExerciseOther

    Individuals in this group will perform mat pilates exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist for a period of 8 weeks, consisting of a total of 24 exercise sessions. During the exercise sessions, individuals will undergo a 50-minute mat pilates exercise program. In addition to the mat pilates exercise group, on the days when he does not come to the session, resistance exercises will be taught in the form of 2 sets of 8 repetitions, 60-80% of 1 maximum repetition, according to the guidelines of the American Sports Medicine Association, and will be given as home exercises.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Blood Pressure

    During the measurement, the patient should not be talking, should be leaning back, sitting on a chair, without crossing his legs, without crossing his feet, with his feet touching the ground, with his arm supported at heart level, and after resting calmly for at least 5 minutes. After the brachial artery is palpated in the arm, the cuff is placed 2-3 cm below the antecubital fossa. After inflating sufficiently, the pressure will be reduced and the measurement value will be recorded after carefully listening to the beginning and end of the Korotkoff sounds.

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Functional Capacity

    6 Minute Walk Test will be used to evaluate the submaximal functional capacity of the patients. The aim of this test is to walk the longest distance possible in a 30 meter long corridor within 6 minutes. The testing will be performed in accordance with the guidelines reported by the American Thoracic Society.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of life

    The EQ-5D-5L general quality of life scale was developed by the EuroQol group, the Western European Quality of Life Research Society, in 1987 and consists of two parts. The first part is the health profile of that day; It allows it to be defined in five sub-dimensions: movement, self-care, usual activities, pain / discomfort and anxiety / depression. Answers given in each section; It has 5 options: "no problem", "mild problem", "moderate problem", "severe problem" and "extreme problem". The second part consists of the visual analog scale (VAS). In this section, individuals give values between 0 and 100 about their current health status and mark this on a thermometer-like scale. Quality of life scores ranging from 0 to 100 are obtained from the visual analog scale section. As the score of the scale increases, the perception of health increases positively. The Turkish version of the scale, which has been translated into 171 languages by the EuroQol group, will be used in the study.

    Measured: 2 months
