Experimental Group |
Aerobic exercise |
Participants of this group will be individuals with primary hypertension, they will undergo aerobic exercises using cycle ergometer 3 times a week for 6 weeks |
The duration of the intervention will be 30 minutes per session. |
The participant will be instructed to sit on the seat of stationary Tunturi E6 Heart Control Ergometer (TUNTURI, USA) with both feet placed on the pedals and held in place with rubber straps. This exercise will be divided into 3 phases; the warm-up phase, an exercise phase, and a cool down phase. During the warm-up phase, the participant will pedal the bicycle for 5 minutes without any resistance, followed by the exercise phase during which the participant will pedal with low resistance. The resistance will gradually increase till the desired intensity of 50% maximum heart rate (MHR) is attained using estimated maximal heart rate (maximal heart rate=220 − age) for the first 6weeks. The exercise phase will last for 20 minutes and then follow by a cool down in which the participant will cycle resistance free for 5minutes. |
