Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 60 participants

Brief Summary

Sixty postmenopausal women participated in this study from gynecological outpatient clinic, at Al-Zahra universal Hospital, Al Azhar University, and Cairo. They were first diagnosed to be hypertensive in their early postmenopausal period .Their blood pressure ranged between 140/90mmHg to 170/105mmHg, their ages ranged from 50 to 60 years and their body mass index ranged from 30:35 kg/m2.

Detailed Description

The participants were divided randomly according to closed envelop into three equal groups in number: Group A (RE) consisted of twenty women who participated in the resistive exercise program. Group B (AE) group: consisted of twenty women who participated in an aerobic exercise program. All patients in both groups (A & B) participated in the exercises three times per week for twelve weeks and every session lasted for 45 min and continues their antihypertensive medication
