Brief summary

Despite exercise training decrease blood pressure in 'average' terms, there is a wide interindividual variability after exercise training, being yet unknown what mode of exercise (e.g. endurance, strength, concurrent, or high intensity interval training) produce more/less non-responder (NR) prevalence (i.e., percentage of subjects who experienced a non-change/worsened response after training in some outcome).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressureBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions endsAfter this, we calculated the delta changes in both variables and classified to all subjects in responders (R) and non-responders (NR) to decrease systolic or diastolic blood pressure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline in body mass indexBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions endsBMI will be calculated as the body weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters.
Change from Baseline in waist circumferenceBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions ends
Change from Baseline in fat massBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions ends
Change from Baseline in body massBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions ends
Change from Baseline in fasting glucoseBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions ends
Change from Baseline in lipidsBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions endsLipid profile (low-density cholesterol, total cholesterol, high-density cholesterol and triglycerides)
Change from Baseline in one maximum repetition strength test of leg-extension exerciseBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions ends
Change from Baseline in heart rate at restBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions endsBaseline and 16 weeks immediately after the interventions ends
