Comparing the effects of aerobic, resistance, and a combination of aerobic plus resistance training on blood pressure (BP), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition.. Our study focuses on the effect of different exercise modalities on blood pressure (BP), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition. That means we were studying on the effect of exercise on hypertension patients.
Conditions
Interventions
Intervention 1: Intervention group: aerobic exercise intervention: During the 12-week training period, all study participants, with the exception of the non-exercise control group, exercised for 60 mi
Pescatello, Franclin, Fagard, & Faqquhar, 2004) served as the foundation. The aerobic exercise-only group performed floor aerobics or aerobic dance at an initial heart rate of 40% and gradually increa

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Criteria for inclusion: 1) All consenting patients with hypertension between the ages of 18 and 65. 2) Individuals with hypertension who have been treated for at least three months. 3) Stage 1 and 2 hypertension patients who are willing to participate in the study (systolic blood pressure < 180 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg) (41), 4) reside in the town of Finoteselam, 5) do not have any injuries. 6) For at least the last three months, patients were sedentary.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Criteria for rejection:1) People who are unfit for exercise and have hypertension-related complications, such as coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease. 2) people who have other co-morbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and musculoskeletal injuries, that prevent them from exercising.

| The primary outcome variable of this trial is blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure). Timepoint: The baseline (pre-test) data were gathered; at week 1, prior to the intervention (also known as the baseline or pre-intervention), and at week 13, after the 12-week intervention (also known as the post-intervention). Method of measurement: The automated Sphygmacor XCEL (AtCor Medical, Itasca, IL, USA) was used to measure blood pressure and resting heart rate. The participant was seated with their legs straight and a brachial pressure cuff placed over the brachial artery on their left arm. The device measured the brachial systolic and diastolic blood pressure three times, with a two-minute rest in between each measurement. For all measurements, the SphygmaCor XCEL reported the average of the last two readings instead of the initial reading.;The second outcome variable of this trial is body composition (body fat percentage and body mass index). Timepoint: The baseline (pre-test) data were gathered; at week 1, prior to the intervention (also known as the baseline or pre-intervention), and at week 13, after the 12-week intervention (also known as the post-intervention). Method of measurement: The body mass index was calculated by dividing the height in meters squared by the body weight in kilograms using a standard stadiometer. The body fat percentage was measured using a skinfold caliper. With the help of a skinfold caliper and a properly trained technician, the skinfold percentage of body fat can be determined with great precision. Gender and age are thought to have an impact on the ratio of subcutaneous fat to total fat (Medicine, 2013). Based on the specific recommendations of (Medicine, 2013), we used the Jackson-Pollock 3-Site Skinfold Formula for Body Density J-P 3-Site (Jackson & Pollock, 1985) for this study. As a result, the three site: triceps, suprailiac, and abdominal sites were used to measure women's body fat using the three-site formula: Body | — |
