Conclusion
RPE, hypertension
HYPERTENSION
Significant reductions in resting and ambulatory BP were seen following a 4-week home-based IWS intervention, using RPE to prescribe and monitor exercise intensity, with clinically important BP reductions in 100% of participants. As shown in previous studies, the HR prescribed IWS intervention, also elicited significant and clinically important BP reductions. These results confirm the effectiveness of the previous IWS methodology and demonstrates the potential of this new, more accessible, RPE-based method, as an effective lifestyle intervention for the prevention of hypertension in both normotensive and pre-hypertensive participants.
