| Reduction of blood pressure Intervention Group (IG) To achieve the reduction of blood pressure, activities will be held such as: Nutritional guidelines: once a month, lasting an hour. Health guidelines: once a week, lasting one hour. Carrying out aerobic physical activities, three times a week, lasting 60 minutes each section. The exercise will take place in three stages: initial warm up and stretching (15 minutes), aerobic activity followed by localized exercises (35 minutes), and ultimate stretching (10 minutes). The exercises will be carried out with intensity from mild to moderate and according to the limits of each person, with the use of cardiac frequency meter to estimate the appropriate rate to physical activity. Blood pressure will be measured at the beginning (after 15 minutes of rest) and at the end of the activities, as recommended by the VI Brazilian Guidelines for Hypertension. All participants in the intervention group will be evaluated before and after the end (16 weeks) of activities. Control Group(CG) Blood pressure will be measured before and after the 16 weeks of intervention, as recommended by the VI Brazilian Guidelines for Hypertension, using the manual blood pressure monitor Missori®. ;Completed study Lower blood pressure Group Intervention (IG) Activities were carried out such as: Nutritional guidelines: once a month, lasting an hour, totaling four meetings. Health guidance: once a week, lasting an hour, totaling 12 meetings. Performing aerobic exercise, three times a week, totaling 48 meetings, lasting 60 minutes each section. The physical exercises were divided into three stages: initial warm up and stretching (15 minutes) aerobic activity, followed by localized exercises (35 minutes), and ultimate stretching (10 minutes). The intensity of exercises varied between mild to moderate, and according to the limits of each person, using the cardiac frequency meter to estimate the appropriate rate to physical activity.

| Completed Study Intervention Group (IG) Anthropometric measurements The weight and anthropometric indicators - body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and body fat percentage (PGC) were determined by assessing body composition - multifrequency bioimpedance In Body brand, model 520®. Height was determined (in meters) with an anthropometric tape. As anthropometric indicators were used BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and hip circumference (HC). The BMI cut-off point used was that recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization, 2000) and is considered obese people with BMI > 30 kg/m2. The AC was measured at the midpoint between the costal margin and the iliac crest using a tape measure, and was considered abnormal when above 102 cm for men and 88 cm for women (World Health Organization, 2000). The waist-hip ratio was defined as the largest circumference around the buttocks above the gluteal fold, and considered inappropriate when above 0,90cm for men and 0,85cm for women. As a result, the GIA, after 16 weeks, showed a decrease in values of all anthropometric variables, and revealed significant differences for CQ (108.9 ± 11.6 to 106.4 ± 12.1, p = 0.042) and WHR (1.00 ± 0.07 to 0.99 ± 0.07, p = 0.030). The GIB showed a decrease only in the WHR (0.98 ± 0.06 to 0.97 ± 0.05). Biochemical variables Blood samples were collected for measurements of total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) and plasma glucose levels. All subjects were instructed to fast for 12 hours. As a result, the GIa had changes for all variables, and HDL showed a significant difference (50.4 ± 6.6 to 54.2 ± 7.8, p = 0.034). The GIb showed changes in biochemical parameters of glucose, HDL and TG, with no statistically significant differences. Control group (CG) All 21 participants underwent the same anthropometric and biochemical assessments that the intervention group, before and after 16 | — |
