Study Summary

This trial will compare the effects of walking and stretching on blood pressure.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with high blood pressure who can walk unaided and safely perform exercises. They should have a systolic BP of 130-159 mmHg or diastolic BP of 85-99 mmHg, not be on unstable blood pressure meds, non-smokers, not already active in moderate to vigorous exercise for 150 minutes weekly or involved in flexibility programs.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares the effects of stretching versus walking exercises on lowering blood pressure over six months. Participants will engage in either a supervised stretching or walking program five days per week to see if stretching offers better outcomes than traditional brisk walking.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

As this trial involves low-intensity physical activities like stretching and walking, side effects are minimal but may include muscle soreness or strain from unfamiliar activity.
