Study Overview
Brief Summary
The research aims to compare two different exercise approaches applied to hypertensive individuals. After completion of the research, it will be revealed which exercise approach is more effective on the parameters evaluated in hypertensive individuals. In this context, it is aimed to increase the use of the exercise approach, which is found to be more effective in hypertensive individuals, in the treatment program.
Detailed Description
Exercise is an important lifestyle change in treating and controlling hypertension. The International Society of Hypertension recommends increasing physical activity in the long term as a lifestyle intervention to improve blood pressure control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in hypertensive individuals. Regular exercise appears to reduce drug use as part of lifestyle change in the treatment of hypertension. The risk of developing hypertension in individuals with a sedentary lifestyle is higher than in individuals who engage in regular physical activity.
In addition, new exercise programs such as mat pilates exercises are also applied to hypertensive individuals. Mat pilates exercises are a resistance exercise method used worldwide, especially for middle-aged individuals who do not engage in regular physical activity. In addition, Mat pilates exercises have promising effects, reducing short-term systolic blood pressure by 7.4 mmHg and long-term resting systolic blood pressure by 5.8-7.6 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 3.3-3.6 mmHg. These data require further research on the use of mat pilates exercises in hypertensive individuals.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Blood Pressure
Time Frame: 2 months
During the measurement, the patient should not be talking, should be leaning back, sitting on a chair, without crossing his legs, without crossing his feet, with his feet touching the ground, with his arm supported at heart level, and after resting calmly for at least 5 minutes. After the brachial artery is palpated in the arm, the cuff is placed 2-3 cm below the antecubital fossa. After inflating sufficiently, the pressure will be reduced and the measurement value will be recorded after carefully listening to the beginning and end of the Korotkoff sounds.
Functional Capacity
Time Frame: 2 months
6 Minute Walk Test will be used to evaluate the submaximal functional capacity of the patients. The aim of this test is to walk the longest distance possible in a 30 meter long corridor within 6 minutes. The testing will be performed in accordance with the guidelines reported by the American Thoracic Society.
Secondary Outcomes
