Clinical Trial in Hypertensive Patients Comparing Two Cardiorespiratory Exercise Protocols, Low-volume Sprint Interval Training (SIT) Versus Moderate-intensity Continuous Training (MICT), to Evaluate Decreases in Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Other Clinical Variables.

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare two cardiorespiratory exercise training protocols - Sprint Interval Training (SIT), characterized by short, maximal-intensity efforts, versus Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) - in patients with arterial hypertension. The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of both interventions on 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (ABPM) after a 12-week training period. Secondary outcomes include diastolic, daytime, and nighttime blood pressure, metabolic and hemodynamic parameters, body composition, and serum myokine levels (IL-6 and α-CGRP). Participants aged 30-59 years with diagnosed hypertension but without high cardiovascular risk will be recruited from the Cardio-Metabolic Disease Unit of Hospital San Martín (La Plata, Argentina). After a two-week familiarization period, eligible participants will be randomized to SIT or MICT groups. The intervention will last 12 weeks, with three supervised sessions per week. The study will provide valuable information about the effectiveness, safety, and clinical applicability of brief, high-intensity exercise for blood pressure control in hypertensive patients.
