Clinical Effectiveness of Boxing Training in Individuals With Elevated Blood Pressure or Stage 1 Hypertension

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Elevated Blood Pressure, Hypertension

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether boxing training reduces cardiovascular risk in elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are (1) if boxing training reduces peripheral and central blood pressure and (2) if boxing training improves cardiovascular function in elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 individuals. Participants with elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 will be randomly divided into a control group or an intervention group. The latter group will be involved in boxing training, 3 days per week for 6 weeks. Researchers will compare clinical and cardiovascular outcomes between the control and the intervention group.
