hypertension

Picture
Defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mmHg (or both) confirmed on at least two separate occasions in adults. Prehypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 mmHg, (NSCA)
Basic Exercise Guidelines:
  • blood pressure should be taken before and after exercise and A systolic pressure of 220 or a diastolic pressure of 105 may warrant stopping exercise 
  • aerobic training should at a frequency of most, if not all, days of the week and 30 minutes or more of either continuous or accumulated throughout the day.
  • aerobic exercise Intensity should be moderate
  • repeated bouts of exercise or performance of activities of daily living that include higher levels of energy expenditure should be encouraged throughout the day to enhance the positive exercise effects
  • resistance training is recommended at a moderate level of 8 to 12 repetitions at 60% to 80% of one repetition maximum (1RM) using total body exercises for most
  • some may benefit from lighter intensity resistance exercise (40% to 60% 1RM) and higher volume (up to 15 repetitions)
  • a circuit weight training format may be most appropriate and is time efficient. Sample exercises to assist in developing a resistance training program and a stepwise methodology have been developed
