Combined Effects of Isometric Wall Squats and High Intensity Interval Training on Rate Pressure Product in Normotensive and Pre-hypertensive Sedentary Adults

Hypertension is leading yet preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality worldwide. Prehypertension identifies those at high risk of developing HTN, prompting intervention to prevent or delay the onset of the disease. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a time efficient mode of training with established benefits, while Isometric wall squats (IWS) also provide a range of proven benefits and advantages, but their combined effect on BP measures is yet to be determined.Hence the objective of this study is to compare the effects of isometric wall squats along with high intensity interval training versus high intensity interval training alone on rate pressure product, SBP and DBP, heart rate and anthropometric measures in normotensive and pre-hypertensive sedentary adults
