Change from baseline casual systolic blood pressure at 8 weeksbaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated with oscillometric method of measuring blood pressure with an automated cuff.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Inflammationbaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated by C-reactive protein in blood analysis

Creatine kinasebaseline and 8 weeks

By blood analysis

Casual diastolic blood pressurebaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated with oscillometric method of measuring blood pressure with an automated cuff.

Questionnaire of Quality of lifebaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated by Mini-questionnaire of Quality of Life in Hypertension (MINICHAL)

Lipid profilebaseline and 8 weeks

By blood analysis (LDL, HDL, total cholesterol, glucose and triglycerides).

Creatininebaseline and 8 weeks

By blood analysis

Lactatebaselina and 8 weeks

By blood analysis

Heart rate variabilitybaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated using a previously validated heart rate monitor Polar 810i, and the results will be analyzed in time- and frequency-domains.

Diastolic and mean blood pressurebaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated by 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)

Muscle strengthbaseline and 8 weeks

The muscles (quadriceps, gastrocnemius, abdominal and spine extensors) will be evaluated with dynamometer.

Body Mass Indexbaseline and 8 weeks

It will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height squared.

Oxidative damagebaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated by advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP)

Endothelial functionbaseline and 8 weeks

By blood analysis (Nitrite measurement/NOx).

Flexibilitybaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated by bank of Wells test.

Antioxidant capacitybaseline and 8 weeks

It will be evaluated by total antioxidant capacity (TAC).
