From: Effects of autonomic nervous system activation on endothelial function in response to acute exercise in hypertensive individuals: study protocol for a randomized double-blind study

Primary objective

• To compare measurements of FMD of the brachial artery in hypertensive individuals receiving either an α1-adrenergic blocker or placebo after sessions of different types of exercise.

Secondary objectives

• To compare the effects of ANS activation in hypertensive individuals receiving either an α1-adrenergic blocker or placebo (between-group) in response to acute exercise (aerobic, resistance and combined exercise sessions);

• To correlate the levels of arterial stiffness and ANS activation and FMD of the brachial artery in hypertensive individuals receiving either an α1-adrenergic blocker or placebo in response to acute exercise (aerobic, resistance, and combined exercise sessions).
