Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| This study focuses on significantly reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure among hypertensive adults who practice slow breathing exercises for 8 weeks. This intervention is anticipated to improve autonomic regulation by increasing parasympathetic activity and reducing sympathetic tone, enhancing baroreflex sensitivity. Additionally, participants may experience improved heart rate variability, reduced resting heart rate, and better respiratory efficiency.Timepoint: Outcome will be assessed at baseline, 4weeks, and 8weeks after intervention | — |
