Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: It was expected that hypertensive individuals undergoing a supervised combined training program (aerobic and resistance exercise) would present a significant improvement in functional capacity, assessed by the percentage of predicted distance in the six-minute walk test (%6MWD), after 8 weeks of intervention. ;Found outcome 1: A significant increase in functional capacity was observed in the experimental group after 8 weeks of supervised combined training, evidenced by an increase in the percentage of predicted distance in the six-minute walk test (%6MWD), compared with the control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 2: It was expected that the supervised combined training program (aerobic and resistance exercise) would promote a significant increase in peripheral muscle strength, assessed by the one-repetition maximum test (1RM) for shoulder flexion, elbow flexion, and knee extension, after 8 weeks of intervention. ;Found outcome 2: A significant increase in peripheral muscle strength was observed in the experimental group after 8 weeks of supervised combined training, evidenced by improvements in the one-repetition maximum test (1RM) for shoulder flexion, elbow flexion, and knee extension, compared with the control group. | — |
