This study is looking at how short periods of exercise, specifically wall-squats, can affect blood pressure in people with high blood pressure (hypertension) or pre-hypertension. Researchers want to see if doing wall-squats at different times throughout the day (scattered) or all at once (traditional) can help lower blood pressure. The main goal is to measure your 24-hour blood pressure from when you join until the end of the six-week study. You might be able to join if you are 18-55 years old, have a 24-hour average blood pressure between 110/70 mmHg and 160 systolic, and are not taking blood pressure medication. The study plans to enroll 45 participants, and its current status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific exercise plan. It aims to enroll 45 participants.

What's involved

Participants will engage in a six to eight-week home-based exercise program, performing wall-squats either scattered throughout the day or continuously. Blood pressure will be monitored from enrollment to the end of the study at six weeks.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Blood pressure will be measured from enrollment to the end of the study at six weeks.
