Key result
High-intensity interval training, regardless of duration, significantly reduced systolic blood pressure and markers of blood fluidity by 8-12% (P<0.05) in patients with stage 1 hypertension.
Why the study?
The study examined and compared the effects of two different high-intensity interval training protocols on markers of blood fluidity in hypertensive patients.
Does high-intensity interval training improve markers of blood fluidity and reduce systolic blood pressure in patients with stage 1 hypertension?

Does high-intensity interval training improve markers of blood fluidity and reduce systolic blood pressure in patients with stage 1 hypertension?
p-value: p=< .05
High-intensity interval training, regardless of specific intensity and duration protocols, significantly improves blood fluidity markers and reduces systolic blood pressure in patients with stage 1 hypertension.
Soltani et al. (2019) conducted an RCT in Stage 1 hypertension (n=30). High-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. Control was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure and markers of blood fluidity (blood/plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, RBC aggregation and deformability) (p=< .05). High-intensity interval training, regardless of duration, significantly reduced systolic blood pressure and markers of blood fluidity by 8-12% (P<0.05) in patients with stage 1 hypertension.
