An interventional study of resistive exercise and aerobic exercise in form of treadmill walking in Exercise, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 50 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-08-20.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Sixty postmenopausal women participated in this study from gynecological outpatient clinic, at Al-Zahra universal Hospital, Al Azhar University, and Cairo. They were first diagnosed to be hypertensive in their early postmenopausal period .Their blood pressure ranged between 140/90mmHg to 170/105mmHg, their ages ranged from 50 to 60 years and their body mass index ranged from 30:35 kg/m2.
The participants were divided randomly according to closed envelop into three equal groups in number: Group A (RE) consisted of twenty women who participated in the resistive exercise program. Group B (AE) group: consisted of twenty women who participated in an aerobic exercise program. All patients in both groups (A \& B) participated in the exercises three times per week for twelve weeks and every session lasted for 45 min and continues their antihypertensive medication
