Dynamic and Isometric Strength Training in Older Adults With Hypertension
Effects of Dynamic Strength Training and Isometric Strength Training on Cardiovascular Health Indicators, Mental Health, and Neuromuscular Fitness in Older Adults With Hypertension: A Feasibility Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This feasibility study aims to evaluate the effects of dynamic strength training and isometric strength training on cardiovascular health indicators, mental health, and neuromuscular fitness in older adults with hypertension. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two training modalities and will complete supervised exercise sessions throughout the intervention period. The study will provide preliminary evidence regarding the safety, acceptability, and potential impact of each training modality on health outcomes in this population.
