This study is looking at ways to lower blood pressure in adults aged 50-64 who binge drink. Researchers want to see if high-intensity interval training (a type of exercise) and an alcohol abstinence intervention (stopping alcohol use) can help. The study will compare binge drinkers to those who don't drink or drink moderately. The main goal is to see if the exercise training is practical to do throughout the study, which lasts about three months. You could be eligible if you are a man or postmenopausal woman aged 50-64, can speak English, and do not have certain health conditions like diabetes or heart disease. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 55 participants. It has two phases, with only binge drinkers entering the second phase where they will be randomly assigned to an exercise or non-exercise group.

What's involved

If you are a binge drinker, you would be asked to abstain from alcohol for 8 weeks with provided education and consultations. If in the exercise group, you would perform supervised high-intensity interval training 3 times a week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting 40 minutes.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint, feasibility of high-intensity interval training, is measured throughout the study participation (~3 months).
