High Intensity Interval Training
Control group
Cycling on cycle ergometers (OXFORDTM, model BE2601, OXOFORD Inc, Santiago, Chile) for 1 min at a subjective intensity of 8-10 points of the modified Borg scale of 1-10 points, and interspersed by inactive (without movement over the bicycle) of 2 minutes as recovery period.
Pre-hypertensive group was compared with healthy groups in the 2 manin variables systolic/diastolic blood pressure, as well as in other co-variables in pre-post changes. Thus, after the training intervention, and following the R and NR classification, we will compare the NR prevalence between both Pre-hypertensive and Healthy group.
