Abstract Purpose :The aim of this study was to find out the effect of different exercises on the selected cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive patients with different blood groups. Patients and Methods: Sixty patients participated in this study their ages range from 45 to 55 years old and their BMI ranged from 25 to 29.9 kg/m².They were divided randomly into three equal blood groups, (A, B and AB) performed concurrent training (combinations of mild to moderate intensity aerobic exercise at 65% - 80% of predicted maximum heart rate and resistance exercises in the form of circuit weight training that targeted the major muscle groups of the upper and lower body using low (40{u2013}50 % 1-RM) to moderately heavy resistance training loads (60{u2013}80 % 1-RM) performed for ” " ~ " ”45{u2013}80 min per session involving 20{u2013}40 min of aerobic and 15{u2013}40 min of resistance and 5 min rest between resisted and aerobic exercises), the exercises were performed 3 sessions per week for 10 weeks in addition to the medical treatment. Blood pressure, p-selectin, ICAM-1 and six minute walk distance were measured at the beginning and the end of the study. Results: showed a highly significant difference in the three groups (reduction in systolic, diastolic blood pressure, p-selectin, ICAM -1 and increase distance in six minute walk in favorite of blood group A). These findings suggested that concurrent training may be an effective methods to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications in hypertensive patients especially with blood group A |
