EFFECTS of BEETROOT JUICE INTAKE and PHYSICAL EXERCISE in POSTMENOPAUSAL HYPERTENSIVE WOMEN
Sponsor: Federal University of Uberlandia
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the hemodynamic and biomarker responses of aerobic physical exercise and beetroot juice intake in postmenopausal women with hypertension. The main questions it seeks to answer are: Is beetroot juice and aerobic exercise related to better hemodynamic responses in hypertensive postmenopausal women? Is beetroot juice and aerobic exercise related to better oxidative stress profile responses in hypertensive postmenopausal women? The researchers will conduct a parallel clinical study with 10 days of intervention, in which 48 women will be randomized into 3 groups: 1) Aerobic exercise; 2) One shot of beetroot juice intake per day (400mg of NO3-); 3) Control (no intervention).
