Effects of Isometric Wall Squat Training on Blood Pressure in Adults With Hypertension

Sponsor: Korea University Guro Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether 12 weeks of isometric wall squat (IWS) exercise can improve blood pressure control and blood pressure variability in adults with essential hypertension. Blood pressure changes during daily activities and sleep will be assessed using a ring-type continuous blood pressure monitoring device (CART BP). The primary outcome is the change in 24-hour mean systolic blood pressure after 12 weeks compared with standard hypertension care.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Isometric Wall Squat (IWS) Exercise

Participants perform home-based isometric wall squat (IWS) exercise three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session consists of four sets of up to 2 minutes, with 2-minute rest periods between sets. The target knee angle is individualized based on the baseline incremental IWS test. Heart rate and rating of perceived exertion are monitored during exercise.

OTHER

Standard Hypertension Care

Participants receive standard hypertension care, including their current antihypertensive medication and lifestyle education based on hypertension guidelines. No structured isometric exercise program is provided during the intervention period.
