Key result
The abstract describes the study design but does not report the quantitative results of the 10-week swimming program on arterial pressure.
Why the study?
Does a regular swimming programme improve arterial pressure in adults with mild to moderate hypertension?
Does a regular swimming programme improve arterial pressure in adults with mild to moderate hypertension?
No quantitative BP results reported from this cohort; leaves open swimming's effect on mild-moderate hypertension.
Aim. The purpose of this work was to verify the acute effects of a regular swimming programme on the arterial pressure of hypertensive adults. Material and methods. The sample was composed of 26 individuals who presented mild to moderate hypertension. The subjects were divided into two groups: the Experimental Group (EG) comprising 13 subjects (four men and nine women) and the Control Group (CG) comprising 13 subjects (seven men and six women), with average ages of 38.40 ± 8.24 and 38.36 ± 8.96 years, respectively. GE individuals took part in a regular swimming programme consisting of three weekly fifty-minute sessions of training (ST) for 10 weeks, whereas GC individuals were instructed not to alter their physical activity and nutritional habits. The KruskalWallis test was used to determine statistical significance (p < 0.05).
