Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the effect of the Pilates method associated with aerobic exercise and the traditional Pilates method on the blood pressure of hypertensive medicated women. In addition, we aim to analyze and compare the chronic effects of training on cardiac autonomic modulation, on cardiorespiratory fitness, functionality and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects will be allocated randomly in three groups: (1) Traditional Pilates group, which will perform only exercises based on the traditional Pilates method, (2) Modified Pilates group, which will perform exercises based on the Pilates method alternated with active rest periods on treadmill ergometer, (3) Control group: will not perform any physical exercise during the trial period. The sessions will be performed two times a week, during 16 weeks. Subjects will be evaluated before and after 16 weeks of intervention.
