Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
IET has been proven effective in a plethora of randomized trials, but very little research has employed a sham-controlled design. This researched involved the recruitment of 30 participants who completed a 4 week IET intervention, sham control of the IET intervention, or a non-intervention control period. Pre and post blood pressure and cardiac autonomic measures were acquired and analysed.
The hypothesis of this trial was a significant effect of IET on blood pressure, with no such effects following the sham control or normal control interventions.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
IET
Participants allocated to this arm performed 4 weeks of isometric wall squat exercise training, 3 times per week.
Isometric exercise training
A form of exercise involving static contraction against a wall, sustained for 2 minutes x4 sets per session. 3 sessions a week were required. The intensity was designed to achieve 95% of the participants maximum heart rate.
Sham
Participants allocated to this arm performed 4 weeks of isometric wall squat training, but the training prescription was intentionally provided at an insufficient intensity to achieve any physiology stimulus.
Isometric exercise training
A form of exercise involving static contraction against a wall, sustained for 2 minutes x4 sets per session. 3 sessions a week were required. The intensity was designed to achieve 95% of the participants maximum heart rate.
No intervention control
Participants allocated to this arm did not perform any exercise and were required to maintain usual daily habits.
No interventions assigned to this group
