Aerobic Exercise and Resistant Hypertension

MIIT group: participants will perform 3 sessions per week for 4 months. Each session will involve a ∼3 min warm-up (joint mobility exercises and walking at ∼2.2 METs), a ∼40-50 min main period (∼6-7 reps of 4 min at ∼4.2 METs, with 3 min of active recovery at ∼2.2 METs between each interval), and a ∼3-min cool-down (joint mobility exercises and walking at ∼2.2 METs). We will select the same aerobic dose of training (i.e., kcal/kg of body weight per week) to match total energy expenditure in both exercise groups.
