Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
3 months of mild aerobic exercise program: Program sessions were offered Monday through Friday (participants attended three sessions per week), with each session consisting of a 5-minute stretching warm-up, 40 to 50 minutes of jogging (heart rate and velocity associated with 50 to 70% of his/her maximal oxygen consumption-VO2max prior to beginning program) and a 5-minute cool-down. Exercise intensity (treadmill speed) was controlled by heart rate using Polar cardiac monitor. Each session was conducted on a treadmill and supervised by physical therapist

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 258786 0
Ergospirometric parameters (VO2, volume of carbonic gas (VCO2), ventilation (VE), and respiratory exchange rate (RER)) measured continuously during an incremental treadmill test to exhaustion. The anaerobic threshold (AT) was determined by ventilatory techniques during the ergospirometry test. The electrocardiogram was used to monitor heart rate (HR) throughout the test. VO2-HR relationship has not changed after training

Summary
Brief summary
to investigate the HR-VO2 relationship after 3 months of an aerobic exercise program to evaluate if a new training prescription is required in a hypertensive group. We also analyzed the first ventilatory threshold (VeT1) response to training because this parameter determines the beneficial zone to aerobic training.
