Why the study?
Little is known regarding the effects of isometric resistance training on ambulatory blood pressure and morning blood pressure surge, or whether sex differences exist in these responses.

Comparison
10 weeks of bilateral-leg isometric resistance training evaluated pre- and post-training
Design
Single-arm pre-post intervention study
Follow-up
10 weeks

May support IRT for ambulatory BP reduction in normotensives; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before practice change.
Does isometric resistance training reduce ambulatory blood pressure and morning blood pressure surge in young normotensive men and women?
A 10-week isometric leg training program significantly lowers ambulatory systolic blood pressure and morning blood pressure surge in young normotensive individuals.
