Key result
Pilot study protocol outlines combined MIND diet and HIIT intervention for hypertensive adults.
Why the study?
Hypertension is associated with low cardiorespiratory fitness, excess adiposity, and reduced quality of life, and the effects of a combined MIND diet and HIIT intervention in this population are unclear.
Demonstrates feasibility of 4-wk MIND diet plus HIIT in adults with HTN and overweight; leaves open effects on CRF, body composition, and QoL pending larger trials.
Objectives: Hypertension (HTN) is associated with low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), excess adiposity, and reduced quality of life (QoL). This study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effects of a 4-wk combined Mediterranean–DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program on CRF, body composition, and QoL in adults with HTN and overweight/obesity.

Tucker et al. (2026) studied Hypertension and overweight/obesity. Combined MIND diet and HIIT program was evaluated on Cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and quality of life. This abstract outlines the objectives for a pilot study of a 4-week combined MIND diet and HIIT program in adults with hypertension and overweight/obesity, with no results reported.
