Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether boxing training reduces cardiovascular risk in elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 individuals.

The main questions it aims to answer are (1) if boxing training reduces peripheral and central blood pressure and (2) if boxing training improves cardiovascular function in elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 individuals.

Participants with elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 will be randomly divided into a control group or an intervention group. The latter group will be involved in boxing training, 3 days per week for 6 weeks.

Researchers will compare clinical and cardiovascular outcomes between the control and the intervention group.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be recruited from the University of Texas at El Paso and its surroundings. They will be identified by a preliminary blood pressure screening and a health questionnaire. The inclusion criteria will consist on: (1) ≥18 years old, (2) SBP between 120-139 mmHg or DBP between 80-89 mmHg obtained from 2 different days, (3) an estimated 10-year risk of CVD ≤10%, calculated by the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations, and (4) no current participation in 3 or more days per week of endurance or resistance exercise training. Exclusion criteria will include non-controlled cardiac, pulmonary, or metabolic diseases, smoking, consumption of nutritional supplements containing antioxidants, and any physical impairment to exercise.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Boxing

The boxing training intervention will consist of three exercise sessions per week on nonconsecutive days for six weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Boxing Training

Intervention Type OTHER

The boxing training intervention will consist of three exercise sessions per week on nonconsecutive days for six weeks. Participants will be instructed to complete 10 rounds of three minutes with a one-minute resting period interspersed. Four rounds will consist of heavy bag punching (e.g. straight, jab, hook) at 60% VO2max and three rounds at 90-95% VO2max, while the remaining 3 rounds will be focused on mitt work at 60% VO2max.

Control

The control group will perform three days per week 10 minutes a flexibility intervention.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Control flexibility

Intervention Type OTHER

The control group will perform three days per week 10 minutes of dynamic articular movement, five minutes of uni pedal stance, and five minutes of stretching of the upper limbs for six weeks.
