How exercise timing affects blood pressure response
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the time of day you exercise affects your blood pressure response. It is for young adults with slightly elevated blood pressure who are generally healthy, not on certain medications, and do not have sleep or chronic health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 39 years old.
- Your resting blood pressure is in the range 120/80 to 139/89 (considered elevated or stage 1 high, but not stage 2 high or normal).

- You do not have a sleep disorder (like sleep apnea or insomnia) and are not at high risk for one.
