简要总结
This study will examine the effects of a 12 week hot yoga intervention on vascular health in adults between the ages of 20 and 65. The investigators are seeking individuals with slightly elevated blood pressure and stage I hypertension who are not currently taking blood pressure medications or exercising regularly. Participants will receive 12 weeks of free yoga for their participation.
详细描述
This study will examine the effects of a 12 week hot yoga intervention on vascular health by assessing changes of pre-intervention and post-intervention measurements in ambulatory blood pressure, endothelial function, and arterial stiffness in adults between the ages of 20 and 65. The investigators are seeking individuals with elevated blood pressure and stage I hypertension who are not currently taking blood pressure medications or exercising regularly. Participants will receive 12 weeks of free yoga for their participation.
