Comparison of the Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training and Mat Pilates Exercise on Blood Pressure, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Hypertensive Individuals

The research aims to compare two different exercise approaches applied to hypertensive individuals. After completion of the research, it will be revealed which exercise approach is more effective on the parameters evaluated in hypertensive individuals. In this context, it is aimed to increase the use of the exercise approach, which is found to be more effective in hypertensive individuals, in the treatment program.

About this study

Interventions

Other: Aerobic Exercise — Individuals in this group will perform aerobic exercise training on a treadmill/bicycle under the supervision of a physiotherapist for a period of 8 weeks, consisting of a total of 24 training sessions. Moderate intensity aerobic exercise training will be set by calculating the target heart rate range. During the training session, individuals will receive a total of 50 minutes of training, consisting of a 10-minute warm-up, 30 minutes of moderate walking/cycling and a 10-minute cool-down period. In addition to the aerobic exercise training group, on the days he does not come to the session, resistance exercises will be taught in the form of 2 sets of 8 repetitions, with weights of 60-80% of 1 maximum repetition, according to the guidelines of the American Sports Medicine Association, and will be given as home exercises.
Other: Mat Pilates Exercise — Individuals in this group will perform mat pilates exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist for a period of 8 weeks, consisting of a total of 24 exercise sessions. During the exercise sessions, individuals will undergo a 50-minute mat pilates exercise program. In addition to the mat pilates exercise group, on the days when he does not come to the session, resistance exercises will be taught in the form of 2 sets of 8 repetitions, 60-80% of 1 maximum repetition, according to the guidelines of the American Sports Medicine Association, and will be given as home exercises.
