Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Thirty-two participants aged 55 and older with a medical diagnosis of hypertension were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (Bodypump classes, 3 times per week for 8 weeks) or a control group that maintained their usual sedentary behavior.
The main outcome was resting blood pressure (systolic and diastolic). Secondary outcomes included measures of functional fitness assessed using the Senior Fitness Test (SFT) battery: lower and upper body strength, aerobic endurance, agility, and balance.
Results showed a significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the Bodypump group compared to the control group. Participants also experienced significant improvements in physical performance measures.
This study suggests that structured group-based resistance training programs such as Bodypump are an effective non-pharmacological intervention for improving cardiovascular health and functional fitness in older adults with hypertension.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Bodypump Group
Bodypump Training Program
Participants in this group performed a structured 8-week Bodypump program consisting of three sessions per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), each lasting 45 minutes. The sessions followed the official Les Mills format, incorporating choreographed resistance exercises using barbells, weight plates, and a step platform. All movements were synchronized with music and led by certified instructors. Participants completed high-repetition, low-load exercises (\~20% of 1RM) targeting major muscle groups. Exercises were adapted to individual capabilities to ensure safety and promote adherence.
Group Control
No interventions assigned to this group
