Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Blood Pressure
Interventions

Other: upper extremity aerobic training
Registration Number
NCT05936892
Lead Sponsor
Riphah International University
Brief Summary

simple random sampling into group A \& group B to collect data. Group A will be given upper extremity aerobic training and group B will be given upper extremity resistance training. The study will be completed within the time duration of ten months. Primary Outcome measures of the research will be pain, range of motion, and quality of life.

Detailed Description

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Multan institute of cardiology, Multan. Non probability convenient sampling technique will be applied on--patients who will be allocated through simple random sampling into group A \& group B to collect data. Group A will be given upper extremity aerobic training and group B will be given upper extremity resistance training. The study will be completed within the time duration of ten months. Primary Outcome measures of the research will be pain, range of motion, and quality of life. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
6 MWT RESISTANCE TRAINING ON CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS4 weeks

The 6MWT is a practical simple test that requires a 100-ft hallway but no exercise equipment or advanced training for technicians. This test measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes (the 6MWD).The self-paced 6MWT assesses the submaximal level of functional capacity. (19) According to studies, the distance walked by a healthy subject on six-minute walk test ranges from 400 to 700m.

* Men ranged from 735m to 580m.

* Women ranged from 657m to 500m.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE)4 weeks

Borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is an outcome measure scale used in knowing exercise intensity prescription. It is used in monitoring progress and mode of exercise in cardiac patients as well as in other patient populations undergoing rehabilitation and endurance training.Borg RPE scale was developed by Gunnar Borg for rating exertion and breathlessness during physical activity ; that is, how hard the activity is as shown by high heart and respiration rate , profuse perspiration and muscle exertion.

RPE scale contains 10 points (20).

* 1 denotes very light activity

* 2-3 denotes light activity

* 4-6 denotes moderate activity

* 7-8 denotes vigorous activity

* 9 denotes very hard activity

* 10 denotes maximum effort activity training.
