Summary

The number of persons with hypertension is increasing and with it the number of related cardiovascular events and related functional or cognitive declines. While studies have suggested that physical activity, in particular, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), could be as efficient as the commonly used antihypertensive medications, no studies have actually compared their effects in the same population. This protocol will determine if HIIT is at least as efficient as hydrochlorothiazide in order to lower 24h-ambulatory blood pressure (BP) in prehypertensive older adults.
