Background & Aims: Exercising is an effective and low-risk treatment for people with hypertension. Based on the aim of this study, we evaluated the effect of Peripheral heart action on body composition and blood pressure in people with high blood pressure.
Materials & Methods: In this study, 23 men with body mass index of 23-28 and the age range of 38-43 with high blood pressure were randomly selected. Twelve of them were practised by Peripheral heart action training for 36 sessions. Also, 11 people were selected as control group. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, skinfold, and one-repetition maximum (1RM) test before and after 36 sessions were measured. Descriptive statistical methods and t-correlation were used for data analysis.
Results: Definite findings showed that after 36 sessions of systolic and diastolic resistance training, blood pressure and wrinkles decreased significantly (P <0.05). Also, at the end of the thirty-six exercise sessions, the training group was significantly better than the control group, in the tests of one-time maximum and body composition and systolic blood pressure.
Conclusion: Finally, resistance training with a peripheral heart action for people with high blood pressure to increase strength, body composition and high blood pressure treatment can be used.
