Exercise and blood vessel health in healthy and prehypertensive adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares how moderate and high-intensity interval training affect blood vessel function in healthy adults and those with slightly elevated blood pressure (prehypertension). It aims to see which exercise type may improve vascular health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 30.
- You do not take any prescription medications and have no chronic diseases.
- You are not very active (sedentary or low active based on a standard activity questionnaire).
- If you have normal blood pressure, your systolic should be below 120 and diastolic below 80. If you have prehypertension, your doctor has confirmed the diagnosis.

This study is testing whether a combination of blood pressure medication and a supervised exercise program can improve the health of your blood vessels. It's for people with mild to moderate high blood pressure who are not already on medication.
This trial tests whether combining intense interval training with strength training can help middle-aged men with high blood pressure and obesity improve their health. You may benefit if you are a man between 40 and 60, have stage 1 or 2 hypertension, and are not currently active.
This study tests whether combining a special breathing technique with aerobic interval training (short bursts of exercise) can help lower blood pressure and heart strain in people with hypertension. It may offer a safe, drug-free way to manage your condition.
This study tests whether short periods of exercise can lower blood pressure. It is for adults with slightly elevated blood pressure who are not on medication and do not smoke or have certain health conditions.
This study looks at how exercise changes blood vessels differently in older women and men. You'll be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or a no-exercise control group for a few months, and researchers will measure your blood vessel health before and after.
This trial compares two types of water-based exercise—short, intense bursts versus a steady, moderate pace—in older adults with high blood pressure that is already being controlled. It may help determine which exercise style lowers blood pressure and is easier or safer to stick with.
