Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare the acute effect of whole body vibration (WBV) to acute effect of resistance exercises on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Methods: fifty patients of both sexes (24 men and 26 women) were selected and their age were ranged from 40 to 50 years old selected from Beni-seuf Health Insurance Hospital and they were assigned into two equal groups in number: group (A):Twenty-five men and women performed 6 sets,10 repetitions of dynamic squatting exercise on WBV platform with frequency of 35 HZ and amplitude 5-6 mm.group (B):Twenty-five men and women performed resistance exercises composed of 6 sets,10 repetitions of dynamic squatting exercise holding hand bar with intensity (20 % of 1 repetition maximum). The duration of each method was 25 minutes performed for one session. Systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blo od pressure(DBP) and heart rate (HR) were measured before and after the session by thirty minutes. Results: In group (A) there were significant decrease in SBP, DBP and HR with percentage of improvement by 3.32%, 7.41% and6.94%respectively. In group (B) there were significant decrease in mean values of SBP and DBP with percentage of improvement by 2.50% and 6.24%, while there was no significant difference in mean values of HR. In addition, group A results versus group B results there was significant difference in mean values of SBP, DBP and HR
