Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Aerobic and concentric resisted exercise  The subjected will be instructed to perform aerobic exercise (walking) for 30 mins followed by concentric resisted exercise with 2-3 seconds of sustained contractions for 75 % of 1 RM, 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions with 1 min rest between each set. The exercises will include bicep curls, shoulder press, lateral raises, seated leg extension, straight leg raises and side lying hip abduction. Sessions will be taken for 4 weeks-3 days/week. 
Comparator Agent  Aerobic and eccentric resisted exercise  The subjected will be instructed to perform aerobic exercise (walking) for 30 mins followed by concentric resisted exercise with 4-6 seconds of sustained contractions for 75 % of 1 RM, 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions with 1 min rest between each set. The exercises will include bicep curls, shoulder press, lateral raises, seated leg extension, straight leg raises and side lying hip abduction. Sessions will be taken for 4 weeks-3 days/week.

Brief Summary  

Hypertension is a major global health issue, and exercise is a key non-pharmacological approach for managing it. While resistance training has shown benefits for blood pressure control, there is limited comparative data on concentric vs. eccentric resistance training in hypertensive individuals. Eccentric training may cause less cardiovascular strain, potentially making it safer, but issues like muscle soreness and recovery need further exploration. Additionally, Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) plays a vital role in exercise adherence and safety.  

Comparing the effects of concentric and eccentric resistance training on blood pressure and RPE in hypertensive individuals can guide safer and more effective exercise prescriptions. 


Null Hypothesis: - (H0): - There will be comparable effects of concentric and eccentric resisted exercises on blood pressure in individuals with Hypertension. (H0): - There will be comparable effects of concentric and eccentric resisted exercises on rate of perceived exertion in individuals with Hypertension.  

Alternate Hypothesis: - (H1) - Concentric resisted exercises reduce blood pressure more effectively than eccentric resisted exercise in individuals with hypertension. (H2) - Concentric resisted exercises reduce rate of perceived more effectively than eccentric resisted exercise in individuals with hypertension. (H3) - Eccentric resisted exercises reduce blood pressure more effectively than concentric resisted exercise in individuals with hypertension. (H4) - Eccentric resisted exercises reduce rate of perceived exertion more effectively than concentric resisted exercise in individuals with hypertension.
