High-Intensity Intermittent Swimming Improves Cardiovascular Health Status for Women with Mild Hypertension

To test the hypothesis that high-intensity swim training improves cardiovascular health status in sedentary premenopausal women with mild hypertension, sixty-two women were randomized into high-intensity (n=21; HIT), moderate-intensity (n=21; MOD), and control groups (n=20; CON). HIT performed 6–10...

Zusammenfassung:	To test the hypothesis that high-intensity swim training improves cardiovascular health status in sedentary premenopausal women with mild hypertension, sixty-two women were randomized into high-intensity (n=21; HIT), moderate-intensity (n=21; MOD), and control groups (n=20; CON). HIT performed 6–10 × 30 s all-out swimming interspersed by 2 min recovery and MOD swam continuously for 1 h at moderate intensity for a 15-week period completing in total 44±1 and 43±1 sessions, respectively. In CON, all measured variables were similar before and after the intervention period. Systolic BP decreased (P
