- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The expected outcome for this project was that the aerobic training program was able to reduce blood pressure levels in hypertensive individuals and this finding was correlated with a reduction in plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The outcome found in the study was that the aerobic training program reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels in hypertensive subjects when compared to baseline levels and to the control group; however, there were no changes in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which were already reduced at baseline levels.
