The purpose of the study is to understand how blood pressure, heart rate, and symptoms of low blood pressure (such as dizziness or nausea) are affected by positional changes and exercise when on land or in the water for people who tend to experience orthostatic hypotension.

Conditions

• Orthostatic Hypotension

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Water exercise	Participants will be asked to sit and stand multiple times (before, immediately after, and 2 hours after a 15-minute walking session). The walking session will consist of 3 minutes of walking at a light intensity followed by 9 min of walking at a moderate intensity and a 3-minute cool down walking at a light intensity. This walking session will occur in a pool.
BEHAVIORAL	Land exercise	Participants will be asked to sit and stand multiple times (before, immediately after, and 2 hours after a 15-minute walking session). The walking session will consist of 3 minutes of walking at a light intensity followed by 9 min of walking at a moderate intensity and a 3-minute cool down walking at a light intensity.
