About

Comparison of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) in patients with hypertension patient in terms of aerobic capacity, blood pressure level, anxiety and depression scores, quality of life, kinesiophobia levels and sleep quality measurement.

Full description

After being informed about study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo screening period determine eligibility for study entry. The patients who met the eligibility recruitments will get into the assessment. The study will include 38 participants (19 HIIT and 19 MICT). Stratified randomization method will be preferred in this study.A total of 38 patients with primary hypertension will be included in the study to evaluate the effect of different intensities of aerobic exercise on cardiopulmonary parameters, aerobic capacity, blood pressure level, anxiety and depression scores, quality of life, kinesiophobia levels and sleep quality.The researcher will record demographic and clinical data of the patients.All patients will be randomly divided into two groups as MICT (n=19) and HIIT (n=19) group. All patients will be evaluated with BDI (Beck Depression Inventory), BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory), SF-36 (Short Form-36), KCS (Kinesiophobia Causes Scalae), PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) before starting the rehabilitation program. Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) will be performed to analyze the cardiopulmonary parameters and determine exercise capacity of the patients.The exercise prescription will be tailored in two different intensities according to the VO2 max (maximum oxygen uptake) values of the patients (HIIT and MICT).For determination of exercise intensity, KPET will be applied to all patients using the Sentry Suite Version 2.19 program with the device (CareFusion Type Master Screen PFT, Serial no: 672819, Germany) at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital. Moderate intensity will be calculated based on load (watt) at % 50-60 of VO2 max, high intensity will be calculated based on load (watt) at % 75-85 of VO2 max analyzed during the CPET. The aerobic exercise program will be performed with a horizontal ergometric bicycle for 3 sessions per week, each session being 30 minutes, for a total of 12 sessions for 4 weeks in the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation laboratory. At the end of the rehabilitation program, all these parameters will be re-evaluated and analyzed in the two groups and the two groups will be compared in terms of these parameters.
