Effect of a physical training program on healthy physical condition in hypertensive individuals

Abstract Objective: To determine the effect of a physical training program on the healthy physical condition of patients with controlled hypertension. Method: A clinical trial was conducted of 78 people diagnosed with controlled hypertension. Of those subjects who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study and who met the inclusion criteria a study group of 39 patients with controlled blood pressure was selected, and underwent the physical training program. A control group of 39 patients with controlled blood pressure was also selected and underwent an educational program combined with non-guided exercises which they usually practiced (shuffleboard, "froggy", chess). At the beginning of the study a survey on the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants was conducted, while their clinical characteristics were evaluated at the end of the study. The statistical t test for independent samples was used, along with the paired before or after Student t test, or failing that the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. Results: 84.6 percent of the sample were women and 64.1 percent had a primary school level education. The mean differences showed statistical significance p摘要 研究目的：探讨体育锻炼方案对血压控制良好的高血压患者健康体能的影响。研究方法：纳入78名确诊为血压控制良好的高血压患者开展临床试验。从自愿参与本研究且符合纳入标准的受试者中，筛选出39名血压控制良好的患者作为研究组，予以指定体育锻炼方案；另选取39名血压控制良好的患者作为对照组，实施健康教育方案联合其日常自行开展的非指导性锻炼（沙狐球、“小青蛙”活动、国际象棋）。研究初始阶段对参与者进行社会人口学特征问卷调查，研究结束时评估其临床特征。统计学分析采用独立样本t检验、配对前后Student t检验，若不符合参数检验条件则采用非参数曼-惠特尼U（Mann-Whitney U）检验。研究结果：本样本中84.6%为女性，64.1%的受试者受教育程度为小学水平。均值差异具有统计学意义（p）
